I think Ian has mentioned this too.
As a final note on this bug, the core dumps disappear on mips-sgi-irix if I start from the beginning with 64bit code, i.e. mips64-sgi-irix. By setting -mabi=64 in CFLAGS, longs become 8 bytes, and bugs disappear. No need for my hack of tricking gmp into using 32 bit mips asm. This solves the package.conf bug, the __decodeFloat bug and the gmp div bug that mips people have encountered. So we'll see how far we get using 64 bits right from the start on this funny Irix thing. -- Don _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
