Ehm, is the note about GHCi porting on 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting still right? 
i.e. is just rts/Linker.c port required or is there anything else needed 
for "bytecode generation"?

To be honest I'm just fighting with ARM/registerised build as a hobby 
project now so GHCi was not on my todo list so far...(but if this thing 
is needed for DPH, then I'll probably have a look at it too...)

Thanks!
Karel
