Bugzilla Bug 23708

ghc wants lndir to build, and lndir is normally included with X.  If ghc
doesn't find lndir, it attempts to build it's own, but ghc's lndir.c includes
X11 headers, so you still need X.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-opengl" emerge ghc
Actual Results:

(no error message)

Expected Results:  
It should have either compiled wihtout failing or had X11 as a dependancies so
that it would emerge it before emerging ghc.  I'm pretty sure this build should
be possible without X11 though...

I'll take this bug.

The reported problem will not occur with ghc-6.0 and any later
versions, because the bootstrapping is handled internally by
ghc's build system now.

However, upgrading to ghc-6.0 can not be generally recommended
yet, because it is likely to contain some severe bugs as the
first release of a new major version.

I have fixed the problem in ghc-5.04.3-r1, which is also still
marked testing. Over ghc-5.04.3, it has the additional advantage 
that it also builds the documentation if USE=doc is selected.

I'd appreciate feedback if it works for you now.

Thanks for reporting.

Tested and works beautifully - solid work, thanks for taking it.
