GHC code still depends on RTS code (written in C by the way) which has to be ported to a specific platform first. Native code generator offers 'registered' and 'unregistered' builds. The first are aware of specific register layout of a architecture. You can find more rationale why it has been removed somewhere on GHC wiki or mailing lists.<div>

Cross compilation is supported and easy too. The compiler is somewhat experimental but can handle quite a few programs.</div>

I cannot understand why do you remove the C stage in GHC.<br>
To my mind: let the result be 3 times slower, but preserve the C code.<br>
Because it works everyhere, and there is no real need to rewrite<br>
the same program separately for all the existing processors<br>
(which number may become, for example, 11000).<br>
I am naive, and am not a specialist.<br>
But only an invariant program ever has sense.<br>
<br>
Has the modern GHC a sensible compilation result level to be observed<br>
(documented?) (graph rewriting code, or like this) ?<br>
