 Priority:  Normal                         |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                          |    Version:  2.7.2
 Keywords:  powerpc, leopard, snowleopard  |       Port:  nhc98
-------------------------------------------+--------------------
 If we are to believe Macports bots, nhc98 fails across the board. At the
 same time its website gives impression that compilation is trivial and was
 working on Darwin PPC among others:
 https://www.haskell.org/nhc98/install.html

 I have tried to update the port to @ 1.22 (the latest official release),
 and it still fails for me. I tried building with gcc-4.2, macports-gcc-10
 and ghc-7.6.3.

 Can anyone confirm whether it fails too?

 P. S. To have the latest version, Portfile should be changed to:

 {{{
 master_sites http://www.haskell.org/nhc98/

 distfiles ${name}src-${version}${extract.suffix}

 checksums           md5     9c7669d3de6d217274ac4aadd63dce7e \
