Yup, e.g. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/ghc6/ghc6_6.0.1-10_hppa.deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/ghc6/ghc6_6.0.1-10_ia64.deb If you're familiar with ghc porting (especially if you are knowledgeable about GHC and HPPA and have a bit of time and motivation!) then you may be interested to know that, of those two arches, only IA64 supports registerised builds (a registerised build is about 25% faster at building GHC and, IIRC, produces Haskell code that runs about twice as fast). If anyone /is/ interested in getting registerised builds working on HPPA (or another arch), http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html is probably the best place to start, and I'm sure you'll be able to find help on the mailing lists (http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo; either cvs-ghc or glasgow-haskell-users is probably most suitable) if you run into problems. You may be misremembering as nhc98, another Haskell compiler, currently doesn't build on 64-bit machines; see bugs 184693 and 142049 for more details. Again, if anyone has the time and motivation to work on this that would be great. Thanks Ian
