[Haskell-cafe] Re: compiling 32 bits haskell program on 64 bits linux

[Christian Maeder]

I think you need to install the 32bit ghc first, because you'll need all
the 32bit haskell libs. At least I was able to use the 32bit ghc
(version 6.8.2) on a 64 bit linux by changing the script in the bin
directory from
  exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"}
to
  exec $GHCBIN -optc-m32 -opta-m32 -optl-m32 $TOPDIROPT ${1+"$@"}

(no -fvia-C)
