There seems to be some trouble with the debian ghci on sparc64. I can dredge up more information if given an idea of what to look for.

This turned out to be relatively straightforward. Two fixes: ghc-asm.lprl needs slight modifications for new versions of gcc on sparc-*-linux, and the dynamic linker also needs to have USE_MMAP enabled due to needing to execute dynamically allocated memory. I've made these fixes in the HEAD, and also merged them into the 6.2 branch. William: there's a fixed tree in /mnt/dm0/simonmar/ghc-6.2.2 on your sparc64 box. Cheers, Simon
