I'm trying to build ghc so that ghci will be included under linux power-pc. The build dies here: ~/ghc6-6.10.4/rts$ /home/briand/ghc6-6.10.4/ghc/stage1-inplace/ghc -optc-O -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-I../includes -optc-I. -optc-Iparallel -optc-Ism -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -optc-fomit-frame-pointer -optc-DNOSMP -optc-I../gmp/gmpbuild -optc-I../libffi/build/include -optc-fno-strict-aliasing -optc-w -H32m -O -optc-O2 -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -Ism -DCOMPILING_RTS -package-name rts -optc-DNOSMP -static -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I../libffi/build/include -I. -dcmm-lint -c StgCRun.c -o StgCRun.o /tmp/ghc21791_0/ghc21791_0.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ghc21791_0/ghc21791_0.s:15:0: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `@' /tmp/ghc21791_0/ghc21791_0.s:19:0: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `@' That relates to this line(s): StgRun: .quad .StgRun,.TOC.@tocbase,0 .size StgRun,24 .globl StgReturn It _looks_ like it's grabbing the right stuff from StgCRun.c, i.e. it's really trying to compile for power pc. I was hoping that this was a bit of cruft and someone could direct me to a fix for the assembly portion so I can get a little farther along. Thanks, Brian P.S. Or somebody could also tell me if trying to have the latest ghc working on power pc is even worth working on.
