 ghc 6.10 + newer toolchain bumped the size of ghc binary to over 32MB,
 thus pushing us to the need of using -mlong-calls gcc option - which, in
 turn exposed some problems in long-calls support in the toolchain..

sorry for the delay.

Now upstream has fixed the -mlong-calls problem in binutils, and I was
able to build ghc6 using the binutils from experimental.

The build packages can be found from: http://people.debian.org/~riku/ghc6/

This would leave the following problems with ghc6:

1) build failure on hppa and ia64 machines (looks very similar)
2) incorrect(?) dep-wait in mips
3) getting fixed binutils to unstable for armel..

I will retry this again when we have gcc-4.4 to test with.

GHC 6.10 for Debian armel?

2009-04-30 Thread Rickard Nilsson

Hi,

I notice there is a GHC 6.8 package for armel, while 6.10 exists for  
most other architectures. Is there anything I can do to help getting  
6.10 to armel?
