mips-sgi-irix6.5 port?

[duncan_coutts]

How difficult would a mips-sgi-irix6.5 port be?

the ghc pages say:

mips-sgi-irix5:

    Port currently doesn't work, needs some minimal
porting effort. As usual, we don't have
    access to machines and there hasn't been an
overwhelming demand for this port, but feel
    free to get in touch.

How much skill / experience would be necessary for such
a port?
Ie. I'm wondering if I could do it.

ta for any advice

To get an "unregisterised" port working is a matter of 
following a recipe (see the recent discussion about the 
Alpha port on glasgow-haskell-users).  An unregisterised 
port is roughly 2 times slower/larger than the registerised 
version.

To get a fully registerised port will require some Mips 
assembly hacking - the code is already there, but it has no 
doubt rotted slightly.

The inhabitants of glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org will 
of course be on hand to help out with any questions you 
have, so good luck!

I withdraw the feature request :-)
