Hi. I was searching for info about building ghc on ARM arch. I already know about [1] approach, and also saw debian binaries [2], but I am afraid I have to compile ghc by myself this time, since our system uses incompatible libc, so my question is addressed to gentoo users and sympathetic :) Did anybody see any working (currently or in the past) dev-lang/ghc arm ebuild?

Which arm do you have? gentoo-haskell overlay got arm v5 binaries recently. I haven't got to test it on armv7 yet, but I expect it to work. https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/700677545a4e8b2f583c36... Gentoo uses ghc built against glibc, but I think it's feasible to bootstrap to non-glibc host as well. You would need to have 2 toolchains simultaneously so some sorts of hacks is required. Do you really need uclibc? Ghc is a relatively heavyweight thing. I would expect a need to path ghc to run it there. You might also like to look at jhc. It is able to cross-compile to other targets, but it's not a drop-in replacement of ghc. https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/700677545a4e8b2f583c36... Ebuilds are hidden in haskell overlay (accessible via layman). -- Sergei
