I recently pulled to bring my local copy of GHC HEAD up to 67dd5724297094af93be1887ef000845722c6f2b. But I cannot seem to get it to build.
I'm following these steps:
git pull --ff-only --prune --recurse-submodules --force
rm -r _build
./boot
./configure
./hadrian build -j
The build is failing with this error message:
Warning: -rtsopts and -with-rtsopts have no effect with -shared. Call hs_init_ghc() from your main() function to set these options. ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_X86_64_64 against local symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output
defined in _build/stage1/rts/build/S/adjustor/NativeAmd64Asm.thr_dyn_o referenced by _build/stage1/rts/build/S/adjustor/NativeAmd64Asm.thr_dyn_o:(.text+0x50)
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status `cc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1) Command failed Build failed.
The offending command is very long indeed; it is appended to this message.
What am I doing wrong, and what do I need to change?
Norman, could you open a ticket to track this and confirm that https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/7604 fixes this? Cheers, - Ben
