PPC porting: asm question

[Michael Weber]

Hi!

I produced unreg .hc files from ghc-5.00 and started to bootstrap the
compiler on a PPC.  I got stuck at this point:

gcc -x c Package.hc -o Package.raw_s -S -O  -finhibit-size-directive
	-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=411 -O
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/ghc/includes
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/ghc/lib/std/cbits
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/hslibs/lang/cbits
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/hslibs/posix/cbits
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/hslibs/util/cbits
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/hslibs/text/cbits
	-I/home/michaelw/debian/build/ghc5-5.00/hslibs/hssource/cbits    -I.
	`echo  | sed 's/^$/-DSTOLEN_X86_REGS=4/'`
../driver/mangler/ghc-asm Package.raw_s Package.s
gcc -c -o Package.o Package.s
Package.s: Assembler messages:
Package.s:1: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.toc'
Package.s:3: Error: Unknown pseudo-op:  `.csect'

It seems, the assembler doesn't like the mangler's output :( 

Since, the `.csect' majik is in various places inside the mangler,
I've little to no hope that it'll work, unless I know exactly what I'm
doing (which I don't, obviously... ;))

Any ideas?


Cheers,
Michael
