Sven Tennie pushed to branch wip/romes/hadrian-cross-stage2-rebase_SVEN_FINAL at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: d8c7ae82 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:18:53+00:00 packaging: correctly propagate build/host/target to bindist configure script At the moment the host and target which we will produce a compiler for is fixed at the initial configure time. Therefore we need to persist the choice made at this time into the installation bindist as well so we look for the right tools, with the right prefixes at install time. In the future, we want to provide a bit more control about what kind of bindist we produce so the logic about what the host/target will have to be written by hadrian rather than persisted by the configure script. In particular with cross compilers we want to either build a normal stage 2 cross bindist or a stage 3 bindist, which creates a bindist which has a native compiler for the target platform. Fixes #21970 - - - - - 0c829587 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:18:53+00:00 hadrian: Fill in more of the default.host toolchain file When you are building a cross compiler this file will be used to build stage1 and it's libraries, so we need enough information here to work accurately. There is still more work to be done (see for example, word size is still fixed). - - - - - 5b5a6ca4 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:18:53+00:00 hadrian: Disable docs when cross compiling Before there were a variety of ad-hoc places where doc building was disabled when cross compiling. * Some CI jobs sets --docs=none in gen_ci.hs * Some CI jobs set --docs=none in .gitlab/ci.sh * There was some logic in hadrian to not need the ["docs"] target when making a bindist. Now the situation is simple: * If you are cross compiling then defaultDocsTargets is empty by default. In theory, there is no reason why we can't build documentation for cross compiler bindists, but this is left to future work to generalise the documentation building rules to allow this (#24289) - - - - - 7299194d by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:44:59+00:00 hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers * Most of hadrian is abstracted over the stage in order to remove the assumption that the target of all stages is the same platform. This allows the RTS to be built for two different targets for example. * Abstracts the bindist creation logic to allow building either normal or cross bindists. Normal bindists use stage 1 libraries and a stage 2 compiler. Cross bindists use stage 2 libararies and a stage 2 compiler. * hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build with cross compilers. Fixes #24192 New hadrian target: * `binary-dist-dir-cross`: Build a cross compiler bindist (compiler = stage 1, libraries = stage 2) This commit also contains various changes to make stage2 compilers feasible. ------------------------- Metric Decrease: ManyAlternatives MultiComponentModulesRecomp MultiLayerModulesRecomp T10421 T12425 T12707 T13035 T13379 T15703 T16577 T18698a T18698b T18923 T1969 T21839c T3294 T4801 T5030 T5321Fun T5642 T783 T9198 T9872d T9961 parsing001 T5321FD T6048 T12227 T18140 T18282 T9233 T5631 T9630 ------------------------- Co-authored-by: Sven Tennie Fix rebase: settings-use-distro-mingw is now staged - - - - - e29870c1 by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:44:59+00:00 ci: Test cross bindists We remove the special logic for testing in-tree cross compilers and instead test cross compiler bindists, like we do for all other platforms. - - - - - 16bebd8d by Matthew Pickering at 2026-03-06T18:44:59+00:00 ci: Introduce CROSS_STAGE variable In preparation for building and testing stage3 bindists we introduce the CROSS_STAGE variable which is used by a CI job to determine what kind of bindist the CI job should produce. At the moment we are only using CROSS_STAGE=2 but in the future we will have some jobs which set CROSS_STAGE=3 to produce native bindists for a target, but produced by a cross compiler, which can be tested on by another CI job on the native platform.

Treating this uniformly like other packages is complicated by it not having any source code or a cabal file. However we can do a bit better by reporting the dependency firstly in `PackageData` and then needing the `.conf` file in the same place as every other package in `configurePackage`.
