<para>To support GHCi, you need to port the dynamic linker
(<filename>fptools/ghc/rts/Linker.c</filename>). The linker
currently supports the ELF and PEi386 object file formats - if
- your platform uses one of these then you probably don't have
- to do anything except fiddle with the
- <literal>#ifdef</literal>s at the top of
- <filename>Linker.c</filename> to tell it about your OS.</para>
+ your platform uses one of these then things will be
+ significantly easier. The majority of Unix platforms use the
+ ELF format these days. Even so, there are some
+ machine-specific parts of the ELF linker: for example, the
+ code for resolving particular relocation types is
+ machine-specific, so some porting of this code to your
+ architecture will probaly be necessary.</para>
<para>If your system uses a different object file format, then
you have to write a linker — good luck!</para>
<para> Install Cygwin from <ulink url="http://www.cygwin.com/">http://www.cygwin.com/</ulink>.

-<command>cvs</command>, <command>openssh</command>,

+"Category" isn't very helpful, and the "View" button is rather unobtrousive.
