Description

building ghc-6.8.2 on ppc Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) with "SRC_HC_OPTS += -fvia-C" (see #1845) yields: 

../compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fvia-C -keep-tmp-files -optc-O2 -package-name rts -static -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I. -#include HCIncludes.h -dcmm-lint     -c Apply.cmm -o Apply.o

We are unlikely to get to this for 6.8.3.

I don't think we're likely to fix this before -fvia-C is removed in 6.12. The workaround is just to use -fasm, of course.

-fvia-C is now deprecated, and OS X PPC is not a tier 1 platform, so I'm closing this ticket.
