Try to use cross-compilation. I think GHC HEAD should be quite OK on this. GHC also provides functional PowerPC backend which was even enhanced to support 64bit so I think there is really high chance you will be able to succeed. The tricky part is in configuration where you will need to experiment

> I've thought even on G5 OpenBSD is still 32bit, isn't it? Yep, you are right. I looked at the macppc page again. On the G5 it runs also in 32 bit - no problem, thats fast enough. > Depends on available hardware/testers etc. I'm afraid target group is > so small that haskell-platfrom community
