[Haskell-cafe] ghci on ARM m3?

[Karel Gardas]

I would say no way to run ghci on M3, but this should be possible on RPi 
especially if you consider v2 which provides quad-core ARMv7 CPU. ARMv6 
on the v1 should also be possible if the support has not bit-roted that 
much.

Anyway, GHC for ARM requires LLVM and the situation with GHC/LLVM is not 
currently stable as it's kind of in transition period from old LLVM 
support to new LLVM support. Ben Gamari (cced to this) knows more about it.

Cheers,
Karel
