OK, here it is. The GHC ebuild for Gentoo Linux has been incorporated in =
the=20
official package tree (search http://www.gentoo.org/index-packages.html)!=
=20
This means that it is available to anyone running Gentoo, so you can now=20
safely claim to run on that platform.

While I'm at it, I have two questions:

1) Is there a package of unregisterised HC files for any version of GHC=20
(4.08.2 preferably) downloadable anywhere? If not, does anyone have one l=
ying=20
around which might be made available? The ebuild is capable of attempting=
 a=20
bootstrap from unreg HC on platforms for which no platform-specific HC fi=
les=20
exist. It expects a file=20
  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/4.08.2/ghc-4.08.2-unreg-hc.tar.bz2
for that, which of course does not exist right now. I would try to build =
that=20
file myself, but I'm completely out of time right now. :(

2) I read a comment somewhere (in some script or so) saying something alo=
ng=20
the lines of "once we are cross-compiling". Are there plans to make GHC a=
ble=20
to cross-compile?
