   4 MLton runs fine on the PowerPC64 architecture.

   6 == Notes ==

   8 * When compiling for PowerPC64, MLton targets the 64-bit PowerPC
   9 architecture.
  10
  11 * When compiling for PowerPC64, 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`.

  17 * On the PowerPC64, the <:GnuMP:> library supports multiple ABIs.  See
  18 the <:GnuMP:> page for more details.
