Comment (by glaubitz):

 Hi thomie!

 I just realized I forgot patching additional files in the compiler, namely

 compiler/cmm/PprC.hs
 compiler/nativeGen/AsmCodeGen.hs
 compiler/nativeGen/RegAlloc/Graph/TrivColorable.hs
 compiler/nativeGen/RegAlloc/Linear/FreeRegs.hs
 compiler/nativeGen/RegAlloc/Linear/Main.hs
 compiler/nativeGen/TargetReg.hs

 where the architecture is checked in case statements as well. I have
 already patched my tree and doing some test builds now, both on amd64 and
 sparc64. The latter will take some more time though :(.
