GHC haskell support for arm64 and ppc64el

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi All,

Seems that fedora is bootstrapping ghc for ppc64
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ghc.git/log/?h=epel7

Revert "bootstrap from ghc-7.4.2-11.2.fc19 x86_64 and ppc64"epel7
use cpio --make-directories
install ghc-base.ppc64 on ppc64
bootstrap from ghc-7.4.2-11.2.fc19 x86_64 and ppc64


do you think it is enough for trying in ubuntu?


thanks

Gianfranco

I didn't realise until now that Karel had replied to me and answered everyone's comments within less than 4 hours of my email; all 6 comments were posted or moderation-approved on the 6th. I'm disappointed with myself for missing Karel's replies, but nevertheless, at least I can now say that you should now have the information you asked for. The replies seem to be in depth.
