/usr/bin/ld: TOC section size exceeds 64k
make[3]: *** [HSbase.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/ghc6-6.4.1/libraries'
With the attached patch 'ghc6' can be compiled on ppc64.
The patch sets "GhcWithInterpreter=NO" on ppc64 to avoid the TOC section
size problem. This solution to make ghc work on ppc64 has been taken
from Gentoo.

Andreas Jochens
