Are you using a registerised build? If so, then as PPC/Linux isn't a tier 1 platform, it could well have bitrotted.

So I tried doing an unregisterised ppc build with: echo "GhcUnregisterised=YES" >> mk/build.mk echo "GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO" >> mk/build.mk echo "SplitObjs=NO" >> mk/build.mk but this failed with: make -C ../ghc stage=2 make[3]: Entering directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/ghc' /builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/libraries/cabal-bin /usr/bin/ghc /builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/libraries/bootstrapping.conf 1.6.0.3 configure --distpref dist-stage2 \ --prefix=/NONEXISTENT --bindir=/NONEXISTENT --libdir=/NONEXISTENT --libexecdir=/NONEXISTENT --datadir=/NONEXISTENT --docdir=/NONEXISTENT --haddockdir=/NONEXISTENT --htmldir=/NONEXISTENT \ --flags=ghci --with-compiler=/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/ghc/stage1-inplace/ghc --with-hc-pkg=/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/utils/ghc-pkg/install-inplace/bin/ghc-pkg --ghc-option=-O2 \ --libsubdir='$pkgid' --with-gcc=gcc --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --with-happy="/usr/bin/happy" --configure-option='--prefix=/usr' --configure-option='--exec-prefix=/usr' --configure-option='--bindir=/usr/bin' --configure-option='--sbindir=/usr/sbin' --configure-option='--sysconfdir=/etc' --configure-option='--datadir=/usr/share' --configure-option='--includedir=/usr/include' --configure-option='--libdir=/usr/lib' --configure-option='--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' --configure-option='--localstatedir=/var' --configure-option='--sharedstatedir=/var/lib' --configure-option='--mandir=/usr/share/man' --configure-option=--with-cc="gcc" --with-hsc2hs=/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-6.10.2/utils/hsc2hs/install-inplace/bin/hsc2hs \ --libsubdir=. \ --datadir='$libdir' \ --datasubdir=.

Are these the right build config settings?

Yes.

Does using -mlongcall help? e.g.: SRC_CC_OPTS += -mlongcall SRC_HC_OPTS += -optc-mlongcall (you can probably get away with something rather more specific, but hopefully this will work). Thanks Ian
