Jens,

It's probably due to abb86adf7f749b3d44887d28bc96b43c5a1e0631[1] which was merged post RC2. I base this on the fact your build is failing during the dynamic build. Do try a reverse patch and see if it helps.

I believe Karel is right - you just need to use Gold. Ben actually had patches to make the build fail if using binutils ld was detected, but I believe I had reservations about the patch which I cannot recall off the top of my head. In any case, a fix like that can certainly go in 7.8.2.

Do let us know how it goes.

Ben Gamari (cced) documented it well here: http://bgamari.github.io/posts/2014-03-06-compiling-ghc-7.8-on-arm.html

Looks like the issue is caused by binutils' linker while fixed in gold.

Thanks a lot, Karel! I will try Ben's hack later.

I am still surprised that RC2 builds fine on ARM (I re-verified that yesterday [1]) but not final 7.8.1. Were there some late ARM or linking changes that cause this now?

I reproduced this two times now. RC2 built okay on ARM so I am not sure what changed.
