I was wondering if there is a status report anywhere of progress towards making ghc compile 64-bit on Snow Leopard. There are a few trac tickets that seem related:
I think http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3472 is related if you haven't seen it. I'm not working on this, though I am interested in helping enable cross-compilation of GHC in general. I have been working on one facet though: hsc2hs. hsc2hs is one of barriers to cross-compilation because it requires compiling and running a .c file on the target machine (because it needs target-specific information like the layout of structures; GHC's mkDerivedConstants also has the same problem). I have a proof-of-concept patch which can do hsc2hs codegeneration without running anything. This uses the same approach that autoconf uses for cross-compilation. I'll try to post it within the next few days -- if anybody finds this approach interesting please let me know. Thanks, -Brian
