GHC worked on Alpha recently (5.02.x), so our 64 bit support should be
up to scratch.  

Check the porting section of the GHC building guide for information on
porting: the bottom line is that there are various levels of porting,
from a basic unregisterised port up to a full port with GHCi and a
native code generator.
