Fortunately, you are :-). It's automagically invoked by the kernel's  
executable loader whenever any Mach-O binary is loaded that only has  
ppc code.
You're right about the lack of (easily available) information though.  
A friend of mine was at the conference when they announced the  
switch, so I just asked him to try it out; I have found no place on  
the web that spells it out.

Yes and no.
GHC, and programs compiled by it, should run without recompiling  
under Apple's "Rosetta" emulator, but that will be slower than on  
(powerpc) PowerBooks.


A port to Mac OS X on Intel is in progress and mostly finished. GHC  
6.6 will support building native Intel code for the new Macs; if  
there is sufficient demand, I could also backport this support to the  
GHC 6.4.x line once it's finished.


Cheers,

Wolfgang

If you mean a binary that had previously, yes, it would need to be 
rebuilt.

to be recompiled?


	I don't expect that ghc has any support for building "universal 
binaries", so in all likelihood yes.
