The correct way to compile ghc_floats.c would be using GHC itself, because then ABI compability is guaranteed. Due to my limited knowledge of nhc98's build system, I leave this to Malcolm...
That would make sense.
OK, with all the recent changes I get quite far, but only because I have a local modification of the nhc98 script: When processing a *.gc file, it uses "ld -r" to partially link together the C part and the Haskell part. To make this work in the presence of the -m32 hack, one has to add " -melf_i386" to the "ld -r" lines, telling ld to use the elf_i386 emulation. Other platforms will of course need other emulations. I am not sure how to fix this in a portable way, perhaps one can use "gcc -m32" somehow for this partial linking step? Hmmm, ideas would be highly welcome... Cheers, S.
