4 | MLton runs fine on the PowerPC architecture. | |

6 | == Notes == | |
7 | ||
8 | * When compiling for PowerPC, MLton targets the 32-bit PowerPC | |
9 | architecture. | |
10 | ||
11 | * When compiling for PowerPC, MLton doesn't support native code | |
12 | generation (`-codegen native`). Hence, performance is not as good as | |
13 | it might be and compile times are longer. Also, the quality of code | |
14 | generated by `gcc` is important. By default, MLton calls `gcc -O1`. | |
15 | You can change this by calling MLton with `-cc-opt -O2`. | |
16 | ||
17 | * On the PowerPC, the <:GnuMP:> library supports multiple ABIs. See | |
18 | the <:GnuMP:> page for more details. |
