Re: ticket for adding ARM backend to NCG?

Guys, I've been tinkering with ARM NCG idea for quite some time now, but honestly I've been always in doubts if it's the best way for GHC at all. I've thought that the plan was to kind of move out of NCG to LLVM based backends and I've though that although this plan may be kind of stuck now, it's still on the table. Yes, I know that GHC is volunteering effort so if someone comes and asks for an ARM NCG implementation merge it'll be probably done in some time, but I'm not sure if it's what's the most welcome at the end. Just some of my doubts about it... I would really appreciate some authoritative word about the topic from more involved GHC developers... I mean especially about NCG future... Thanks!

My interest is just to get involved somehow in the NCG. Starting a new backend seemed reasonable only because I couldn't break something that didn't exist. ;-)

Well a big +1 from me for armv7 NCG.
