I was able to generate a set of .hc files on a linux-i386 host, but (as was expected) the rtc failed to build.

Where exactly did the RTS build fail? Can you post the error message? We do need the .hc files generated from the RTS .cmm source files.

Adjustor.c:106:27: machine/pal.h: No such file or directory Adjustor.c: In function createAdjustor': Adjustor.c:403: error: PAL_imb' undeclared (first use in this function) Adjustor.c:403: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Adjustor.c:403: error: for each function it appears in.) I didn't take a look at this before, but I suspect machine/pal.h might even be specific to OSF/1. Other alterations (in reverse order) Edited out the -mieee gcc flag from /ghc/compiler/main/DriverFlags.hs (gcc-i386 doesn't understand it, and even on Alpha, removing it probably wouldn't break the build process itself) Commented out: #if alpha_TARGET_ARCH checkFEDArgs arg_tys = check (integral_args <= 32) err where integral_args = sum [ machRepByteWidth rep | (rep,hint) <- map typeMachRepRep arg_tys, hint /= FloatHint ] err = ptext SLIT("On Alpha, I can only handle 4 non-floating-point arguments to foreign export dynamic") from TcForeign.lhs. typeMachRepRep was nowhere to be found (not in ghc-6.4, or any earlier released version), and I wasn't able to figure out what, exactly, it does. It seemed like an RTS thing, so I decided to comment it out, and the build proceded. Not sure if that was such a wise idea now. Commented out: import PrimRep ( getPrimRepSize, isFloatingRep ) from the same file. The file isn't included with ghc anymore, and the imported functions weren't used. -- -- Michiel
