Here is the latest:
ld32: WARNING 84 : /usr/people/wstan/nhc98-1.16/lib/mips-IRIX6/Runtime.a is not used for resolving any symbol.
These warnings are harmless, and can safely be ignored.

This is the first test-use of the freshly-built nhc98 compiler, and clearly indicates that it does not work. I suspect it is a similar problem to one already reported several times, whereby the build fails at the same point with a segmentation fault, rather than an error message. We do not yet know the exact cause, or a fix, although we think it is probably something to do with changes in the gcc-3.x series compiler that break various assumptions made by the nhc98 code generator. Sorry that the build did not work out for you. I think probably the only currently-maintained Haskell system that you will be able to install on your machine is Hugs. (The last version of ghc that was distributed for mips-sgi-irix6 was 2.10, which is now 6 years old.) Regards, Malcolm
