So my hack to get ghc working on x86-64 is a bit trickier with the new version, all that is needed is to make sure -m32 is passed to gcc, as, and ld and everything works great with the i386 build of ghc. for earlier versions, I set extra_ghc_opts = ["-optc-m32", "-optl-m32", "-opta-m32"] for base in package.conf. However in 6.4 there no longer seems to be an extra_ghc_opts in package.conf. I was able to add -m32 to extraCcOpts and extraLdOpts, but there does not appear to be an extraAsOpts. perhaps this is an oversight? John It would be nice if ghc always passed -m32 when targeted to i386-*-* since it does not hurt when you are actually on a 32 bit system but would save us x86-64 people some hassle. -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
