Subject: NCG: Use sync instead of msync for a memory barrier for powerpc
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c83d2d16d72825ea5ef9a1b3c7096fc9e19491b7

NCG: Use sync instead of msync for a memory barrier for powerpc
  Darwin 9.6.0 + GCC 4.0.1 doesn't understand "msync".
  I think "sync" means the same thing.
