There seems to be some trouble with the debian ghci on sparc64. I can dredge up more information if given an idea of what to look for.

This turned out to be relatively straightforward. Two fixes: ghc-asm.lprl needs slight modifications for new versions of gcc on sparc-*-linux, and the dynamic linker also needs to have USE_MMAP enabled due to needing to execute dynamically allocated memory. I've made these fixes in the HEAD, and also merged them into the 6.2 branch. William: there's a fixed tree in /mnt/dm0/simonmar/ghc-6.2.2 on your sparc64 box.
Great, thanks for fixing it up! I can make similar arrangements for the alpha issue, if desired.
Are you referring to this bug? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=232727 If so, that's quite a bit of work - not 6.4 material I'm afraid. Cheers, Simon

Sorry about that, I wasn't aware of what was going on with alpha's ghci bits when I posted. I mistook it for a similar bug as opposed to the unimplemented feature it is. -- wli
