Unregisterised C compilation (compiling via plain ANSI C) is well supported in GHC. Some of our ports use unregisterised C only, in fact. Compiling GHC on an "unsupported" architecture is just a matter of following the step-by-step porting instructions in the building guide: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.htm l which many people have successfully done. Maybe this will help dispell the myth that GHC is not portable :-) Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
