you do so that you can refer to it later).
And, finally, I heard vague rumors a while ago that made me think that
GHC 6.10 might have a pure ANSI-C backend? Is there any truth to this?
That would make porting much easier if it meant you did not have to do
steps 1-4.

ps. I would be happy to try to answer any questions if someone tries a
port. I would still like to run GHC on my 770, and I hope to own an
iPhone if they fix a few ommisions (bluetooth keyboard support, and
similar stuff).
I recently acquired the ARM-based Nokia N810 (and <3 it), powered by
Maemo. Running a uname -a on it:
Linux Nokia-N810-42-19 2.6.21-omap1 #2 Fri Nov 16 16:24:58 EET 2007
armv6l unknown
I would love a working GHC implementation on it, if for nothing else
than how awesome it would be. Whether that means using a C back-end or
native compilation doesn't matter to me so much.
I might be one to attempt this, as I know C and ARM-ish asm decently
well and have a powerful desktop to compile on. I have no familiarity
with GHC internals, though. Lastly, I won't have anything like the time
to attempt this seriously until mid-September or so.
