Maybe use the autodetected GHC version from configure and apply the
workaround if needed?

I pulled in 1.0.3rc2 and still the build failed at the same point as
rc1. darcs itself is built, but there is a problem building the
documentation.

Here is the *complete* build log:

http://abing.gotdns.com/darcs/darcs-build.log

After this step:

./preproc darcs.lhs > darcs_print.tex
latex darcs_print.tex

latex will go into interactive mode and I have to press the enter key
(been a while since I last did tex) at the question mark prompt.

One more thing, since I am using the Debian build system and creating
my own debs all I do is uupdate to get a new darcs tree. The tarball
(darcs-1.0.3rc2.tar.gz) used by uupdate is constructed as follows:

1. unpack darcs-1.0.2.tar.gz
2. in darcs repository pulled from official repository, darcs diff
--unified --from-tag=1.0.2 --to-tag=1.0.3rc2. > 1.0.2-1.0.3rc2.diff
3. cd to unpacked darcs-1.0.2.tar.gz directory and apply patch, some
patches will fail. Nothing to worry because these are patches for some
debian/* files.
4. move darcs-1.0.2 to darcs-1.0.3rc2
5. create a tarball of darcs-1.0.3rc2.

I don't know if this has any relevance, worst case would be if this
process is leaving out some crucial files for building the docs.
