same cause as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=541679
and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542842, with ideas
on how to fix it.

I fixed this now in hlint. Upstream kindly added a cabal flag
"threaded" (default on), and I trigger it with:

# If no threaded RTS is found, disable it
DEB_SETUP_GHC6_CONFIGURE_ARGS := $(shell test -e /usr/lib/ghc-$(GHC6_VERSION)/libHSrts_thr.a || echo --flags=-threaded)

in debian/rules.

I've seen a few failures caused by this now. Would there be a problem in making this the default in hlibrary.mk? I suspect that this kind of problem will only be found after an ftbfs reported by a buildd admin, so fixing on a per-package basis would require a round trip if this is the case.

. o O (why is using a threaded RTS only when it is available not an upstream default?)

Regards,
Iain
