[Haskell-cafe] Re: GHC 6.4.1 x86-64 does not compile

Tue May 9 09:13:59 EDT 2006

Well, thanks for kicking. :-)

Now, I have a 6.4.1 version compiling for 64bits. Nevertheless, if I try 
to build a 6.4.2 based on this ghc and 64bit gcc, I get this error 
during make (quite soon after make starts) - below my text.

Is there again a problem in mixing of 32/64-bit versions or is there a 
principial problem?

Any further kick is velcome :-)

Thx and regards
Dusan

P.S.
Curently produced executable by ghhc 6.4.1 has the following signature:
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for 
GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
D.
