 I am a newbie to GHC platform. I am trying to port GHC to my power
 architecture , and whilst following the below:

 1.      wget http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.6.3/ghc-7.6.3-src.tar.bz2
 2.      tar xjvf ghc-7.6.3-src.tar.bz2
 3.      cd ghc-7.6.3
 4.       ./configure --enable-hc-boot --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised
 5.      make
 6.      sudo make install

 I am getting below errors while performing above step 4 :

 configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-hc-boot-unregisterised
 checking for gfind... no
 checking for find... /usr/bin/find
 checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort
 checking for ghc... no
 checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

 This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
 the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
 download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
 and
 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

 If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
 send the following data and any information you think might be
 pertinent to <config-patches at gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
 information to handle your system.

 config.guess timestamp = 2012-02-10
