One thing I could try would be to see if I can get a version of GHC to run under ODIN (ODIN is a Win32 API implementation under OS/2). Do you think this would be helpful? Or would it lead me down the path of making an OS/2 complier that produced Windows Executables (that would be bad).
I don't know enough about ODIN to be able to usefully comment, apart from to say that extra layers of translation generally add extra layers of complication (we've had no end of trouble with cygwin/mingw on Win32), and in this case you'd be going through 2 layers (mingw + ODIN) which could well be more trouble than it's worth. On the other hand, you'd need something like mingw for OS/2 - does such a beast exist? Cheers, Simon
