Eh? AFAIK, GHC has absolutely nothing to do with GCC.
- shakna 9y agoBadly worded, but GHC has GCC as a backend, the Windows dist uses it.
- lomnakkus 9y agoI got my information from [1] and it only mentions gcc for the backend meant for porting, so I just kind of assumed that it would be using the native backend for all platforms. (Admittedly [1] is perhaps a bit out of date, thought.) Certainly, it was just nitpicking, regardless.
