Comment 5 for bug 263773

It should be merely a "rebuild", but all source packages would need to be modified: Since the ABI of the libs is also (as is the case for this bug) dependant on the haskell compiler used, all (library) packages have quite strict dependencies on the particular ghc6 version. Furthermore, these "rebuilds" will need to be done in order, so libraries build-depending on other libraries need to get updated to reflect the new version of the build-dependency.

I don't imagine there should be any problems due to this change in ghc6 so that packages won't build again if they previously did. However haskell allows to mix native calls with haskell code, so it's in theory possible.

Binary packages, that would be affected:
