I was trying to get a ghc going in my shell account the other day and found that the data at http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html didn't apply at all. The system is a netbsd alpha which turns up as alpha-unknown-netbsd through configure. I didn't find any configure.in to modify, but there is a config.guess. Is that what I'm supposed to modify? I was using the source distribution of ghc 6.6. So how do I get off to s start on the netbsd system at my ISP? Here is the uname data for my system with the hostname x'd out: NetBSD xxx 2.1.0_STABLE NetBSD 2.1.0_STABLE (sdf) #0: Mon Nov 13 08:11:09 UTC 2006 root@ol:/var/src/netbsd/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/sdf alpha Brian McQueen
