I hope it's all described adequately in the GHC user manual http://haskell.org/ghc
I'll take a look at it, thanks!
Unfortunately, before I can worry about this I have to get GHC built at all. It appears that the available binary versions don't work an a pure gcc 3.x system. There aren't by any chance _statically_ linked GHC versions available for Linux somewhere, are they?
I'm not sure what you mean by a pure gcc 3.x system. GHC 5.04.1 works fine with gcc 3.x, but previous versions didn't. Cheers, Simon

A system where anything and everything is compiled with gcc 3.x. Apparently this messes up binary compatibility with the link libraries, such as libgmp. None of the provided binaries worked for me, and I tried it on three different machines.
GHC 5.04.1 works fine with gcc 3.x, but previous versions didn't.
I will take a look at the new version then. Thanks for the hint. -peter
