Description
Below is the last excerpt from the build transcript (with the error at the bottom). I am attempting to build the GHC port on both MacOS 10.4 PPC G4 PowerBook and MacOS 10.5 PPC G5 PowerMac.

OK, it looks like the bootstrap compilers need to be rebuilt to include hsc2hs, which was not required previously.

Replying to gwright@…:

Now I have the problem on Intel as well. It seems that in the meantime they rebuilt the only bootstrap that was working.
I bet you're not the one who's in charge of this builds. Is there something we could/should do to ask for a working build?
Thanks for your job "gwright" (I don't know your name)

r41873 should fix this.

This is a combination of two upstream bugs; it looks as if the hpc library is using an external hsc2hs instead of the one built in place and cabal used an hsc2hs that didn't match the bootstrap compiler without a warning.
I'll file bug reports with ghc central.
That's odd, hsc2hs appears to be provided by ghc...
