This limitation might be different now that ghc is using libffi.


Wow, that's an ancient error message on an architecture I haven't used 
in over 10 years :-)


It looks like we're not using libffi on Alpha at the moment.  If someone 
with an Alpha would like to try building GHC with 
UseLibFFIForAdjustors=YES in mk/build.mk and test whether it works, we 
could change it over.


Cheers,
Simon

This is a limitation of ghc. So you should ask the ghc people if they  
can fix this. Then we could think of a work-around. But the only  
workaround there is is not to bind functions that are affected by the  
limitation. That would pretty much rule out all modules in ModelView/  
which is a rather important part of Gtk2Hs.
