This means that a stripped hello world binary is now 500K rather than 2.5Mb. It may work on ppc too, this needs testing. 15 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: A further fix for the executable stack issue. (It seems we need -Wa,--noexecstack in SRC_CC_OPTS as well as SRC_HC_OPTS) 13 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts files/ghc-updater, ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: Improvements to ghc-updater thanks to kosmikus and with help from ferdy 13 Mar 2006; Jeroen Roovers ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: Marked ~hppa (bug #125389). 13 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: Fix omission in hppa support. 10 Mar 2006; Duncan Coutts ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: Change what flags we use to disable hardened gcc and how we set them. We now use one set of flags rather than picking them conditionally. Use an option which should fix the executable-stack problem (bug #123698). Prepare for hppa arch support and misc minor tidy-ups. 01 Mar 2006; Markus Rothe ghc-6.4.1-r2.ebuild: Added ~ppc64; bug #88362 24 Feb 2006; Duncan Coutts -files/ghc-6.0.1.haddock.patch: Remove old unused patch. *ghc-6.4.1-r2 (16 Feb 2006) 16 Feb 2006; Luis F.

Temporily adapted the ebuild to quit with an informative error message until a real solution comes to mind.

Made ghc depend on virtual/ghc (and provide one) instead of on dev-lang/ghc-bin ghc-bin in turn now also provides virtual/ghc, this closes #10155 13 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov ghc-5.04.2.ebuild : fix for when ghc gets bootstrapped off different version. Thanks to Andres Loeh and Ralf Hinze . 08 Mar 2003; George Shapovalov ghc-5.04.2.ebuild : updated the ebuild to correctly build (namely to build ghci) if bootstrapped off different (older) version.

(#10155) Fixes things on x86. !!!Needs testing on sparc!!! (has good chances to work on sparc, provided ghc-bin-5.04.2 works) ebuild bootstraps ghc from ghc-bin and contains remarks on how to "maintain" it correctly (in short: for general purpose no special attention required) 17 Jan 2003; Matthew Turk : Looks like it didn't take... Trying again! 09 Jan 2003; Matthew Turk : Changed the docbook-sgml-dtd dependency to one that *exists*. 06 Dec 2002; Rodney Rees : changed sparc ~sparc keywords *ghc-5.04.ebuild (08 Aug 2002) 19 Aug 2002; George Shapovalov ghc-5.04.ebuild : fixed header, added >=dev-libs/gmp-4.1 dependency 08 Jul 2002; George Shapovalov ghc-5.04.ebuild, files/ghc-5.04-gentoo.patch.bz2 : new version, bzipped patched (too large otherwise), will keep uncompressed for 5.02.3 anc compressed for 5.04 until new version is tested (to have one working meanwhile) ebuild (and large patching work) submitted by: Sven Moritz Hallberg *ghc-5.02.3.ebuild (09 Jun 2002) 18 Jun 2002; George Shapovalov ghc-5.02.3.ebuild : Few improvements by Sven Moritz Hallberg : Build DocBook documentation only if USEing 'doc'. Require DocBook DTD 3.1 in that case. Thanks to a bug report by Matthew Walton I've noticed that GHC requires the DocBook DTD 3.1, not 4.1. 09 Jun 2002; George Shapovalov all : First submission From the home page: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising compiler and interactive environment for Haskell 98, GHC compiles Haskell to either native code or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to Haskell 98; for example: concurrency, a foreign language interface, multi-parameter type classes, scoped type variables, existential and universal quantification, unboxed types, exceptions, weak pointers, and so on. GHC comes with a generational garbage collector, and a space and time profiler.
