Comment (by guest):
While the GHC build system identifies this machine (running 32bit userland
on ppc64 64-bit kernel) as powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu,
(in config.status:
s,@build@,|#_!!_#|powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu,g
in config.log:
configure:1856: checking for GHC version date
configure:1874: result: given 6.8.20070912
configure:2007: checking build system type
configure:2025: result: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
configure:2047: checking host system type
configure:2062: result: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
configure:2084: checking target system type
configure:2099: result: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
)
everything else (except the kernel) builds on this system for
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu or just powerpc-unknown-linux.
Passing --build=powerpc-unknown-linux to GHC's ./configure solves the
problem both for 6.6.1 and (as far as I have tried) for 6.8.
I am not familiar with the autotools, but even GHC finds, in config.log:
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
Perhaps it is just a matter of actually using this to achieve what I
achieved manually by passing --build=powerpc-unknown-linux.
It may even be an autotools problem: At least readline-5.2,
which reports the same target, still has only powerpc64 in config.status.
In gentoo, I believe the correct settings are achieved by
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2007.0/32bit-
userland/make.defaults
