ghc-8 has basic support for ppc64 NCG and improved cross-compiling support. Should be feasible to bootstrap ghc binaries there.
cross-building was substantially improved in ghc-HEAD this month. I hope to get full cross-compilation support for upcoming ghc-8.2.1. It will ease initial porting of ghc to any new arch with a few crosdev/emerge-${CTARGET} commands.
Thanks Sergei Trofimovich for you effort on this cross-building.
The cross-building system is broken for me. I read the following guide and used crossdev with CTARGET=powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu: https://trofi.github.io/posts/200-ghc-as-a-crosscompiler-update.html I used the overlay repo (https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell) for this output but the standard repo also has the same issue with ghc-8.4.3. I encountered the same error as this while cross-compiling from my x86_64 laptop: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=910664#10 Any insight about the best way to get ghc-8.2.1 or later working on ppc64le will be appreciated. # emerge --info '=cross-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu/ghc-8.4.4::crossdev' Portage 2.3.79 (python 3.6.9-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib,

I have a more thorough report to amend the previous one. The previous error was from memory starvation. Now using the same commands (but reducing parallelism and adding more swap) I am able to successfully build the cross-ghc.

Is it a reproducible failure or a one-off bug? I'll try locally as well.
Tried to bootstrap ghc-8.8.1 into ppc64le today and it built the package just fine: https://slyfox.uni.cx/distfiles/cross-ghc-bin-8.8.1-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu.tbz2 I'll try to dump it onto ppc64le machine and see if i can bootstrap native 8.8.1 on it and then 8.6.5 from it.
I get the linker error every time. I wish I knew what was causing the issue with my cross build environment. That being said, your binary package gets me over the main hurdle. I was able to use that as the arch_binary in my local 8.8.1 ebuild and ghcbootstrap my own 8.8.1 on top of that. I might use what I have now to go back to 8.6.5 but 8.8.1 works just fine. Thanks for revisiting this!
Added new binaries: - for 8.8.1: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=0defa5f02f34b540eafcfd9b8ec9faaa80189cde - for 8.6.5: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ae822c6a643103428de23fa18fa0be867983cbcd
Thank you Sergei, this was very helpful. I managed to install your dev-lang/ghc-8.8.1.

Yeah. Note: ghc-8.6.* and ghc-8.8.* are not yet keyworded on any ARCH in gentoo. There will be quite a bit of breakage. We usually recommend trying ::haskell overlay for beleeding-edge software until it's moved to ::gentoo. ghc-8.6.5 should be less broken, but still not perfect.

Hello, is there any news in getting ghc working on ppc64? I see that there are no bootstrap binaries for any recent version?
