Summary: amd64: adjustor creation not supported

Initial Comment:
Hello, 
 
when trying to use wxhaskell on ghc-6.2.2 on an amd64 
(unregistered gentoo build) the following happend: 
 
$ ./a.out  
a.out: internal error: adjustor creation not supported on  
this platform  
    Please report this as a bug to  
glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,  
    or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/  
  
I'm not sure if this is a bug because amd64 is not 
officially supported.

Yes, this is just a "missing feature". A small piece of platform specific 
code (<50 lines) is required to get foreign import "wrapper" declarations 
to work, and wxhaskell uses them a lot.

A volunteer who wants to fix this would need enough knowledge about 
assembly language in general to really understand a calling convention 
(literature on amd64's particular calling convention is available 
somewhere). Most of the amd64-specific details can be picked up on the 
job.
