RE: PPC port of ghc.

[Simon Marlow]

 I noticed that GHC mentions a powerpc AIX port.  I was 
 wondering what the
 difficulty would be in porting GHC to Linux-PPC.

Probably not too hard.  The PPC code is still there, but hasn't been tested
for a while (AFAIK, ghc 4.xx has never compiled on a PPC).  You may need to
extract some bits from ghc 3.xx's runtime system.

We'll certainly help out where possible, but I don't think any of us here
knows the PPC arch very well...

Cheers,
Simon
