I've put up an x86_64/Linux registerised build for testing here:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.4-x86_64-unknown-linux .tar.bz2
This is a binary distribution: ./configure && make -k install. The -k is necessary because it doesn't have all the docs. It was built on Fedora FC3. Note it claims version 6.4, but actually it's 6.4.20050308.
Still no GHCi, no foreign export dynamic, no native code gen. But it seems to work (this is a stage 3 build).
For someone with an amd64 and some spare time: So the burning question is: do all those extra registers help? Does Haskell code run faster in 64bit mode or 32bit mode? Performance graphs on a postcard to the usual address... Duncan
