I couldn't get any version of ghc working because emerge ghc tells me I need 
ghc-bin first, and ghc-bin is not running because it misses libreadline.so.4. 
If I just symlink libreadline.so to libreadline.so.4 it tells that 
libreadline.so.4 has a wrong ELF-header. 
 
Best solution certainly would be to have a ghc-bin-6.4 for PPC 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ghc-bin  <-- works so far 
2. try to compile any haskell program fails, because the lib problem 
3. emerge ghc <-- also fails beacause the lib problem
