Re: 177 unexpected test failures on a new system -- is this yet another linker issue?

11 Nov 2016

      So I just tried validating on another system:

    > ghc git:(master) $ uname -a

It validated without any errors. So I can't reproduce it right now. I'll try
the patch sometime later today when I have the other laptop with me.

Sylvain, do you have any ideas on what difference may be causing this? I'm
pasting gcc and ld versions but I'm not sure if they're relevant at all.

My bad, in fact we do.
Could you try with the attached patch? It shows the failing filename in the
archive.

I'm trying to validate on a new system (not sure if related, but it has
gcc
6.2.1 and ld 2.27.0), and I'm having 177 unexpected failures, most
(maybe
even
all) of them are similar to this one:
=====> T5976(ext-interp) 1 of 1 [0, 0, 0]
    cd "./th/T5976.run" &&  "/home/omer/haskell/ghc/inplace/test
spaces/ghc-stage2" -c T5976.hs -dcore-dno-debug-output -XTemplateHaskell
-package template-haskell -fexternal-interpreter -v0
    Actual stderr output differs from expected:
    --- ./th/T5976.run/T5976.stderr.normalised      2016-11-10

Did this line get truncated? It might help to have the rest of it.
