That’s pretty awsome! I did not know that cross-compilation works so well these days. I’m sure the GHC developers would like to hear about it. Would you mind writing to the upstream mailing list at https://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs and tell them about your experience, i.e. what you did, how you did it, what went well and what not so well. This will also be useful information for any further porters to other systems. > In order for ghc to actually build on sh4, I had to add sh4 to the > list of known architectures in aclocal.m4.

Do you want to upstream it (by opening a ticket at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ and attaching it)?
