DONATION FOR THE LORD.

FROM: Margeret hatch. I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Kazeem Hatch who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year2001. We were married for eleven years without a child.He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christians. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six hundred thousandU.S. Dollars) with one Global Security Company in Spain. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke.Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use this fund to fund churches,orphanages,Research centers and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am notafraid of death hence I know where i am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom ofthelord, Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and i shall hold my peace. I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Global Security Company in Spain. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian.Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this ame purpose. Please assure me that you will act ccordingly as I stated there in. Hoping to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs Margeret Hatch.

Hey all, I've packaged up two sparc ports. Binary distributions of GHC 6.0.1 with profiling, for: sparc-unknown-openbsd3.4 ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/6.0.1/ghc-6.0.1-sparc-unknown-openbsd.tgz sparc-sun-solaris2.6 ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/6.0.1/ghc-6.0.1-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.tgz Maybe SimonM can add them to the 6.1 page.. Cheers, Don

RE: Query regarding GHC handling of overlapping instances.
by Simon Peyton-Jones 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

| I have been doing some work recently which involves classes with | overlapping instances... for example | | class Test x y where | test :: x -> y | | instance Test (a b) (c b) where | test = | | instance Test (a b) (a b) where | test = | | This gives an overlapping instance error - which cannot be avoided with | -fallow-overlapping-instances. | However - it is fairly obvious that the first case 'a' cannot be unified | with 'c' or it would be a type error, therefore | the cases do not overlap... Is this a bug in ghc, is it easily fixable - | or am I confused? You are right. They don't overlap. The program below runs fine with GHC 6.0.1, and prints cam-02-unx:~/tmp$ ghc -fallow-overlapping-instances -fglasgow-exts Foo.hs cam-02-unx:~/tmp$ ./a.out "Second" "First" Simon ========================= module Main where class Test x y where test :: x -> y -> String instance Test (a b) (c b) where test x y = "First" instance Test (a b) (a b) where test x y = "Second" main = do { print (test [True] [True]) ; print (test [True] (Just True)) }

> The bootstrapping host. That is expected, then. I've mentioned before that trying to build the HC files on the bootstrapping host might not work, because these files are meant to be built on the target. The same goes for the invocation of gcc itself: it is using flags designed for use on the target machine. > Oh, and while I think about it, on the building docs: > > Minor niggle - missing "cd T" on the first line > "$ ./configure --enable-hc-boot --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised" added, thanks. > When you say "change TARGETPLATFORM appropriately." I've been assuming > you mean the name of the foo_TARGET_ARCH etc variables too. Yes, I'll update the docs to say that too. > Presumably this is the same as passing configure > --target=what-remote-one-says ? configure doesn't cope with different --host/--target at the moment. There's no reason in principle why it shouldn't. Cheers, Simon

I *think* I've figured out what's going wrong. The stg_ap_v_ret failure is caused by info tables being generated for the wrong endianness. This isn't supposed to happen, because we should be cross-compiling for the correct endianness, but I'm guessing that the config.h copied over from the target to the host machine has been overwritten during the build process with an incorrect one. Try this: before doing 'cd H/ghc && make boot && make' on the host machine, do 'touch ghc/includes/config.h'. Check after the build that this file hasn't been overwritten. Cheers, Simon
