    initial v1  
    1616It seems at the moment Macports uses ghc 7.6.2 as a bootstrap compiler for everything higher. We can’t do it for ppc, we need to use 7.0.1 or possibly 7.0.4 as a starting point. This part is technically as easy as changing version numbers and replacing checksums. It result ghc-bootstrap gets “occupied” by 7.0.1. Then I used it to build 7.6.3. Let’s assume it built correctly (if not, tweaking should be not too hard). So now I have ghc port “occupied” by 7.6.3, which should in fact be a bootstrap one (according to current Macports settings).
    1717Should we make a special ghc-bootstrap-ppc port to build 7.6.3 which then can be used hopefully normally in ghc-bootstrap port with added ppc arch? Or what’s a better way?
