When I build GHC head on FreeBSD, I got the following error. Is newSpark missing on FreeBSD?

The same error occurs on NetBSD/amd64. PrimopWrappers.dyn_o has a direct reference to newSpark but since it resides in the rts, not ghc-prim, such references must be redirected through PLT. The problem is that every *.dyn_o, not only PrimopWrappers.dyn_o, is compiled without -fPIC for OSes other than Windows, Darwin and Linux. I have no idea why -fPIC isn't enabled for all OSes in the first place, but the attached patch works at least for me. _______________________________________________________ - PHO - http://cielonegro.org/ OpenPGP public key: 1024D/1A86EF72 Fpr: 5F3E 5B5F 535C CE27 8254 4D1A 14E7 9CA7 1A86 EF72
