Running multithreaded GHC on Itanium

[Srđan Stipić]

I am currently trying to modify GHC 6.6.1 to run on Itanium in
multithreaded mode (+RTS -N).
Is it possible to do those modifications without generating back-end
for Itanium?
(If I am correct GHC on Itanium uses gcc to generate the code)

Thanks
Srdjan
