I've integrated it into the Gentoo ghc-6.4.2.ebuild. There are zero unexpected failures on x86/x86_64 on Linux. I think there may be a few unexpected failures on Windows, but I've checked them and they're not fatal. I get zero unexpected failures on x86_64 too which is reassuring. I'll probably update nofib and make a bundle of that too. There are currently a few bogus failures due to floating point wibbles. Cheers, that'd be nice too. Perhaps we could record testsuite results for different arches on the ghc wiki somewhere. Sure, that's a good idea. I've left it a bit late to make any changes to 6.4.2 based on anything you find, but it'll still be useful to record the results for comparison with future versions. We'll get round to running it on our various other arches and report back.

Having a known benchmark like that would be very good to see if we're breaking things eg in porting, getting registerised builds working, gcc upgrades etc. Duncan ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
