I've got my x86 linux box ready to build some unregistered .hc files.
You'll need two build trees. In the first tree, build the compiler as normal, and the libraries/RTS with -unreg -keep-hc-files-too. You should be able to use these .hc files to try out some simple programs on the PPC.
In the second tree, bootstrap the compiler using the compiler from the first tree with -unreg -keep-hc-files-too. Take these .hc files to the PPC and bootstrap them there.
Ok. Here's what I've done. I've made two trees, b1 and b2, and some appropriate directories ton install in. Inside b1, I edited b1/ghc/lib/std/Makefile to add the options -optc-DNO_REGS... and compiled this compiler. I then went into b2 and added the unregister options to SRC_HC_OPTS in b2/mk/config.mk (Configured to use the compiler generated in step b1. During the build here, the compiler SEGVs when compiling the first haskell file built with the new built compiler. ... ../../driver/ghc-inplace -keep-hc-file-too -optc-DNO_REGS -optc-DUSE_MINIINTERPRETER -fno-asm-mangling -funregisterised -fvia-C -recomp -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fvia-C -Rghc-timing -O -package-name std -static -split-objs -H12m -c PrelBase.lhs -o PrelBase.o -osuf o Haskell compiler received signal 11 ... I'm guessing I didn't do the b1 build right. The compiler it generated builds, but doesn't even run. Do I need to add the unregistered options throughout the build, or just in the library?
