I just tested building ghc6-6.12.1-4_powerpc with a registered build, that is, without those lines from debian/rules that make an unregistered build, and got a segfault just after running inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive.

Just confirming that this bug is still present in this version.

Any PowerPC hackers out there want to take a look at this? It would be a shame if GHC was fatally broken on PowerPC due to some small or easily fixable bug. The only reason we don't support PowerPC is lack of resources, but we're more than happy to provide help/advice to anyone who wants to work on PowerPC support.

I'm using GHC 6.12.1 on powerpc-apple-darwin (Leopard). It works almost perfectly except for just one problem that HSghc-6.12.1.o is unavailable because of a limitation of static linker. See: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3260 Unfortunately I can't easily try out any Linux/PPC systems for now. _______________________________________________________ - PHO - http://cielonegro.org/ OpenPGP public key: 1024D/1A86EF72 Fpr: 5F3E 5B5F 535C CE27 8254 4D1A 14E7 9CA7 1A86 EF72
