Porting ghc by cross-compiling

2012-02-02 Thread Svante Signell
Hi, I'm working on porting ghc, currently ghc-6.12.3, to GNU/Hurd which is i{3,4,5,6}86. I've followed the instructions at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting The main reason for trying this is that we are stuck at ghc6.6. 6.6 builds 6.8 but 6.8 cannot be used to build 6.8
