You are quite welcome! There still seem to be problems but they are
not impossible. My hope is that Yasm's new optimiser may make GHC -
fasm code smaller and possibly even faster (though I doubt assembler
optimisations would make that much difference in speed. I should
thank you, in return, for your work on Arrays and the haskell.org
Array page.
By the way, the FSF finally got back to me on GCC licensing. In
general, look at each source code file for the referenced license:
the source code file will refer to the top-level COPYING (GPL) or
COPYING.LIB (LGPL) license and provide a special exception for
linkage or static linkage (if any). The GCC libraries are separate
from the "Libraries" included as complete, separate libraries in the
GCC distribution, such as libgfortran. The GCC libraries are GPL and
the separate libraries are LGPL. It turns out that all libraries
provide special exceptions to their licenses for linkage (GPL) and
static linkage (LGPL) so everything is o.k.
Cheers,
Peter
