I know you're busy of course but it doesn't need your time specifically, anyone using Gentoo/FreeBSD could do it. We can walk them through the process. We're working on ia64 support. s390 support would be possible if we had access to the hardware. The only arches we don't have much hope of supporting are arm, mips and sh. (It works on mips on irix but we have problems with GOT overflow on mips linux.) --=20 Duncan Coutts : Gentoo Developer (Haskell herd team lead) email : dcoutts at gentoo dot org --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
