Does anyone have PPC binaries for GHC 7.x?
I've been trying to help a PPC user compile a large haskell application, and it (and it's dependencies) require a newer ghc; the latest ppc binaries we've found are for 6.10, and we have been unable to compile a never ghc from source (6.12 /almost/ worked, but eventually failed with a linker error that appears to be unsolvable in the near-term).
What operating system? Debian Wheezy (stable) supports PowerPC, and has a working GHC 7.4.1. You can also try unstable (sid). Don't install sid packages on stable (I ran into linker errors with direct-sqlite when I tried that).
