Okay, I've tried to follow the directions, and ran into a couple minor issues I was able to work through, but I got stuck at the "cd H/libraries && make boot && make" stage. The host system is redhat enterprise linux 3, the target is hp-ux 11.11, the output is below: /var/tmp/work/ghc-6.2.2/libraries 1030 $ make boot && make ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ===fptools== Recursively making `boot' in base haskell98 haskell-src network parsec QuickCheck readline unix ...

Is it possible? Is there anyone out there who's done it and could provide advice or binaries?

It should be possible. You'll have to follow the instructions from the porting guide: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html

When you run in to problems, ask on #haskell or this list.

Good luck, Don
