./lang/ghc84, Compiler for the functional language Haskell - 8.4 Release Series

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 8.4.4nb9, Package name: ghc-8.4.4nb9, Maintainer: pho

GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.

The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
comprehensive set of libraries.

This package provides the 8.4.x release series, which is the last
version that can bootstrap with 8.0.2. It will probably be removed
once we make a separate package for GHC 8.8.x and get enough bootstrap
kits for it.

Log message:
*: recursive bump for Python 3.11 as new default
   2023-06-06 14:42:56 by Taylor R Campbell | Files touched by this commit (1319) 
Log message:
Mass-change BUILD_DEPENDS to TOOL_DEPENDS outside mk/.

Almost all uses, if not all of them, are wrong, according to the
semantics of BUILD_DEPENDS (packages built for target available for
use _by_ tools at build-time) and TOOL_DEPEPNDS (packages built for
host available for use _as_ tools at build-time).

No change to BUILD_DEPENDS as used correctly inside buildlink3.

As proposed on tech-pkg:

Log message:
ghc: Only some ghc compilers support NetBSD/aarch64, limit the workaround
   2022-11-22 15:35:33 by Nia Alarie | Files touched by this commit (7) 
Log message:
ghc: depend on compat90 instead of compat80 on NetBSD/aarch64

There was never a NetBSD 8 release for aarch64 so compat80 is not
available, but compat90 will work nicely.

Log message:
ghc*: Unlimit cputime.

Some of the latter linking stages can take a signficantly long time.
