Moreover, as I wrote a few times before, some reasons for switching in the first place are invalidated by not having the core libraries in git, too. For example, one complaint about darcs is that it either doesn't build (on the Sun Solaris T1 and T2 machines) I don't remember seeing this mentioned before, and googling for "Solaris T1" darcs doesn't find anything.
That's probably because there entire world are probably only two T1/T2 machines that people are using to run ghc. :-)
One of them is at UNSW and the other was recently donated by Sun to the community and is just about to go online at Chalmers.
What goes wrong? I'd expect darcs to build anywhere GHC does.
So would I usually, though I've had to turn down cc flags to get darcs to build on ia64 before (SHA1.hs generates enormous register pressure).
We should really use a C implementation of SHA1, the Haskell version isn't buying us anything beyond being a stress test of the register allocator. Cheers, Simon
