Hi,

ghc6 on powerpc is not built registerized:
"Removed powerpc from the list of arches to do a registerised build with object splitting as there are bootstrapping issues from earlier GHCs." (Ian's changelog entry, 6.4-3).

You can also find this out by looking at debian/rules of the sourcepackage (line 39 and below).

I personally don't have access to a powerpc box, so I didn't change anything on that front (also I'm more than happy, that ghc6 itself actually works on all ubuntu arches).

If you know of a fix, or would like to help out in this matter, please do. However changing from unregisterised to registerised for edgy also won't work, since that would also mean that all haskell library packages would need to be rebuilt.

Thanks,
     Stefan.
