It doesn't seem to entirely not work, e.g. things like
{{{
map Char.ord "foo"
}}}
are fine, but it also doesn't entirely work, e.g. bug #631.
With
{{{
echo "GhcUnregisterised=YES" >> mk/build.mk
echo "GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO" >> mk/build.mk
echo "SplitObjs=NO" >> mk/build.mk
}}}
on a powerpc:
{{{
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ghci bug.hs
[...]
Compiling Main ( bug.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> f
Segmentation fault
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ghci bug.hs
[...]
Compiling Main ( bug.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> map Char.ord "foo"

and on a sparc:
{{{

*Main> f

I haven't tried on x86/amd64 with the above build.mk. Is this something
you'll look into fixing, or should I just drop ghci too?
Thanks
Ian
