I use ghc and darcs on my sparc box all the time. ghc-6.4.1-r2 is |
| 23 |
currently marked stable on sparc. darcs is currently marked ~sparc. |

I'm currently working on ghc for ia64 since Aron Griffis was interested |
| 26 |
in using darcs on ia64. It's looking good so far. |

As Flameeyes pointed out our main problem is with the various Gentoo/ALT |
| 29 |
systems where we don't have quite enough developer time to allow ghc to |
| 30 |
get near the top of the TODO list (though we do have it working with ppc |
| 31 |
osx). |
