Following the new guide, and the new distrib/hc-build, with the fix to .hc file generation on the host that Simon sorted out yesterday.
This generated a working sparc binary. That compiler in turn is recompiling the libraries and generating new .hi files.
Looks like it's working here too :-)
The sparc isn't entirely well-behaved. The unregisterised compiler seems fine, but the first go at building a registerised GHC built a stage1 compiler that "couldn't allocate memory". However, I was being ambitious and had turned on everything: nativeGen, ghci, regs, tail calls etc. I'm being more cautious second time around. I'm having a go at alpha (osf3) too, I'll let you know. As an aside: I'll post bin-dists when registersied builds work. -- Don
