 I have started work on a native code generator for PowerPC 64 bit by
 extending the 32 bit code generator. The code is hosted on github:
 [https://github.com/trommler/ghc/tree/native]

 So far I plan to support the old ELF v1.9 ABI on big endian. I might look
 into little endian
 and ELF 2.0 later.
