[Comment 3 Andrew John Hughes 2008-02-07 16:42:12 UTC]

It might be a duplicate (again, search didn't show that bug as it is closed)
but there's still a problem with the ebuild.

[Comment 4 Andrew John Hughes 2008-02-07 16:42:40 UTC]

Reopening.

[Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-07 16:57:23 UTC]

This simply won't build w/ gcc-4.1+, end of story, won't be fixed.

ghc-6.8.x "on the way". gimme a month or so! ;-)

[Comment 7 Andrew John Hughes 2008-06-16 12:15:44 UTC]

Is there a current solution for this? 6.4.2 is still the stable version, and while both 6.6 and 6.8 are available, they lack a ~ppc64 keyword.
