Add Nios II support. Add m88k and DEC VAX support. Add support for stdcall, thiscall, and fastcall on non-Windows 32-bit x86 targets such as Linux. Various Android, MIPS N32, x86, FreeBSD and UltraSPARC IIi fixes. Make the testsuite more robust: eliminate several spurious failures, and respect the $CC and $CXX environment variables. Archive off the manually maintained ChangeLog in favor of git log. }}} The original libffi patch that is part of the libffi-3.0.14.tar.gz as mentioned above ended up in two pull requests: - https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/19 - https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/pull/60 of which non was finally merged. Both seem dead by now, but as mentioned above in libffi 3.1, iOS support was added. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8701#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
