No, GHC won't be a native cross compiler in 6.12. There are #ifdefs through the code which control what target architecture GHC is being compiled for, and at the moment it doesn't support the host architecture being different from the target architecture. I did some work on the native code generator this year which cleans up some of this, but it still needs several more weeks put into it to make it a real cross compiler. Cheers, Ben.

Hello John,

glasgow-haskell-users is a more appropriate list... http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users

I went ahead and cc'd your message to the list. Any replies please include John's email address as I don't think he is subscribed to the list.

Hope that helps... -- Donnie Jones

Hi,

This may be more appropriate for a different list, but I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not we're getting a cross compiler in 6.12 or not. Can some one point me to the correct place in Traq to find this information?
