Hello Ricardo and all,

This series tweaks the recently-added nhc98 and ghc@4 so they
only depend on “regular” packages rather than intermediate
packages from commencement.scm.

It also fixes ‘tests/graph.scm’.  \o/

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (4):
  gnu: nhc98: Build with the current tool chain.
  gnu: gcc: Add 2.95.
  gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.
  gnu: Remove glibc@2.2.5 and gcc-2.95-wrapper.

Wow, excellent!

The patches look good to me.  I built ghc@4, fired up STGHugs, and
successfully loaded a module.

Thanks for testing!

I adjusted as suggested by Maxime and pushed this series:

  ee230f15c6 gnu: Remove glibc@2.2.5 and gcc-2.95-wrapper.
  d9df65514c gnu: ghc@4: Build without referring to packages in commencement.scm.
  6ef0cd9ade gnu: ghc@4: Use 'search-patches'.
  66f12401d4 gnu: gcc: Add 2.95.
  4fa516474b gnu: nhc98: Build with the current tool chain.
