Just an aside: Due to some pushing on my part Hugs98 made it onto
the SuSE distribution (6.2), but none of the Glasgow fptools. There
are two reasons for this:
* SuSE's internal way of building packages makes a self-compiling
program like GHC a little bit hard to integrate. But this is a
solvable problem, either via some hand-made GHC or *.hc files.
* A more pressing point is that GHC is tied to x86 machines at
moment, see e.g. MBlock.c or Adjustor.c. SuSE has a Linux
version for Alpha, too, and includes packages only if they
work on *both* platforms.
So my question is: Is there an Alpha aficionado out there to fill
these holes in GHC? It would be nice if GHC were included in a
mainstream Linux distribution.
Cheers,
Sven
