Could you create a ticket for this (or is there one already)? I'm willing to recompile ghc-6.8.2 with different options or patches on PPC Tiger, but even compiling via-C does not work (not to mention bootstrapping from hc sources).
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2012 (Only few seem to be interested in getting PPC bugs fixed. Is this architecture dying out?) Cheers Christian Does ghc-6.8.1 or ghc-6.6.1 work on PPC leopard and can be used for compiling ghc-6.8.2?
