Hi, a colleague of mine is unable to install darcs on his 10.4.11 / PowerBook G4 due to a problem with the required ghc port (currently in revision 6.8.3_0). Some Lisp library we rely on uses darcs as its only distribution method (for reasonably recent revisions, at least), so this is a blocking issue for us.
Apparently, the bootstrapping fails because the bootstrapping complier / linker fails on this OS / architecture combination, cf. the error message below. The problem seems to be related to both https://trac.macports.org/ticket/15923 and a ticket in ghc's bug tracking system http://www.nabble.com/-GHC---2380%3A-Adjustor.o-crash-compiling-ghc-6.8.3-on-iBook-G4-10.4.11-td17993124.html#a17993124.
