Comment(by erikd):
The attached patch (0001-Fix-GHCi-segfault-during-startup-on-
PowerPC-2972.patch) has been tested on linux-powerpc, linux-i386 and
linux-x86_64. I ran ran validate on powerpc and x86_64.
I emailed the haskell@h.o and haskell-cafe@h.o mailing lists asking for
people interested in powerpc on other OSes (eg *BSD and darwin) to help
test and have not received a response. I suspect that this patch may break
darwin-powerpc, but have no way of testing it.
My feeling is that the patch should be applied and if it breaks darwin-
powerpc then we (I volunteer to help) fix it. Does that sound sane?
