ghc-bin does not work on sparc-unknown-linux-gnu The ebuild downloads http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/${PV}/ghc-${PV}-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2 and tries to build that. However on linux this will not work of course. Assuming no-one has done this already, I'd like to provide a ghc-bin/ghc for linux sparc (seing as I've a new sparc machine). I'll keep this bug around for tracking purposes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge ghc Actual Results: checking host system type... sparc-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... sparc-unknown-linux-gnu checking build system type... sparc-unknown-linux-gnu Unrecognised platform: sparc-unknown-linux-gnu Expected Results: it should "just work" :-)
Just noticed existing report on porting ghc to other archs
ghc-bin-6.2.2-r1 and ghc-6.2.2 are now in portage with ~sparc in KEYWORDS. GHCi support however is disabled because it segfaults on 2.6 kernels (works fine on 2.4 kernels).
