ghc6.6 on ps3 - compile error in StgCRun

[Tristan Allwood]

Hi,

I'm trying to build ghc-6.6 on a sony ps3, but have hit a problem:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
== make all -r;
 in /home/tora/ghc/ghc-6.6/rts
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ps3 is running YDL, and to bootstrap the ghc build I managed to install a
powerpc ghc6.6 on the system (downloaded a deb from
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=powerpc&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fg%2Fghc6%2Fghc6_6.6-3_powerpc.deb&md5sum=f8f23c269deeb0e6a513f8b5bb94801d&arch=powerpc&type=main
then alien'ed it to get an rpm which seems to work - though ghci is
non-functioning)

The sources I'm trying to build are the standard ghc
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6/ghc-6.6-src.tar.bz2 (and extralibs)

Any tips / pointers / advice greatfully recieved;

TIA,
