In particular it's a registerised via-C build with ghci, TH and
profiling working.
Does compiling using gcc-4.3.x work if -fvia-C is added?
There's no Sparc NCG in the 6.10 series so it's only -fvia-C. The new
Sparc NCG is in 6.12. This build used gcc-4.1.2 which is the latest
stable one on Gentoo for sparc.
It's a distro package not a generic relocatable GHC binary tarball so
there's no point putting it on the ghc download page, but it's there
nevertheless if people want it (look for the gentoo ghc ebuild).
I've found
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-lang/ghc
Where are ebuilds or downloadable binaries?
For non-gentoo users, the ebuilds are available from cvs:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/ghc/
eg 6.10.4:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/ghc/ghc-6.10.4.ebuild?view=markup
The binaries are not set up for separate distribution but if you inspect
the ebuild you find:
mirror://gentoo/ghc-bin-${PV}-sparc.tbz2
which means ghc-bin-6.10.4-sparc.tbz2 in the distfiles of any gentoo
mirror, eg:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/ghc-bin-6.10.4-sparc.tbz2
It expects to unpack to / and installs under /usr however it's quite
possible to unpack to a temp dir and relocate the scripts and
package.conf using a bit of sed. In fact this is what the ebuild does
for the bootstrapping binary.

gcc version for GHC 6.10.4 under Sparc/Solaris
Hi Ian, could you add a note on the download page that GCC version 4.3.x is not suited for: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.10.4/maeder/ghc-6.10.4-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2 The binary-dist was compiled using gcc-4.2.2 (but also works i.e. for gcc-3.4.4) page http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Solaris says: GCC version 4.1.2 is recommended and GHC has not yet been updated to understand the assembly output of GCC version 4.3.x. Maybe a ticket should be opened for gcc-4.3.x under Sparc/Solaris Did anyway use gcc-4.3.x under x86 Solaris? (I don't think, it'll have the same problem.)
