Just out of curiosity, I've just tried to build and install nhc98 from the darcs repo on an x86_64 Linux platform (vanilla "./configure && make", a rather recent GHC from darcs is in the PATH). This resulted in thousands of warnings and errors from GCC like: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size error: initializer element is not constant The resulting nhc98 is unusable, yielding dozens of errors from the linker for a "Hello, world!" program. So what is the current status on 64bit platforms? Are the problems fixable within a reasonable timeframe? If yes, some hints where to look for bugs would be appreciated, perhaps I can have a try... Cheers, S.
