bootstrapping GHC

I've recently acquired access to SPARC and PPC Linux boxen. GHC 4.04 is presently bootstrapping on the SPARC, and I was wondering if there were PPC hc files floating about anywhere, or documentation on how to generate them. Thanks, Bill ___ Haskell mai

Say, I was wondering if someone on this list would be willing to help me track down a space leak in a program I wrote. I don't really have enough insight into the workings of things to figure out what's causing it, but people here have seemed helpful in the past. The space leak occurs under GHC 4.
