RE: Linker.c broken

Let’s re-enable it. Or: how can I selectively re-enable it for in my validate.mk? From: ghc-devs [mailto:ghc-devs-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Phyx Sent: 04 July 2016 13:05 To: Erik de Castro Lopo ; ghc-devs Subject: Re: Linker.c broken There used to be a bug in the msys2 runtime which made certain processes hang on exit in a non deterministic way. So the parallel runs was disabled. I was looking into it but haven't been able to reproduce it at all in months now since either upgrading msys2 or Windows (to Windows 10). We have a ticket with more information on it and what I found back then, but haven't been able to progress. It might be that they've just fixed it in the mean time.

Oh dear, why is that?
