#98: cabal assumes -x option for linking ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: Christian.Maeder@dfki.de | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.2 Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.6 | Platform: Other Unix ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by nominolo): The documentation for {{{ld}}} on Ubuntu reads: {{{ -x --discard-all Delete all local symbols. }}} That seems to be corresponding to {{{ [-z redlocsym] reduce local syms in .symtab to a minimum }}}. Maybe it could even be omitted. There actually is a FIXMe in Distrubution/Simple/GHC.hs line 348. Could you try removing that line, rebuild Cabal and try again? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/98#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
