 Hello,
 while attempting to build ghc-6.12.3 on i64-unknown-linux-gnu platform
 I've got to this failure:
 {{{

 }}}

 the platform provides ghc 6.8.2 and gcc 4.3.2 so I'm not able to use ghc
 7.0.2 yet if I understand it correctly.

 My guess is that the mangler for IA64 is broken, however I'm not able to
 find any wiki page which would explain what it should do to ghc novice.
