Re: Linking stage 2 compiler with non-threaded RTS using Make?

I just realized that the wiki page for ticky profiling [1] suggests using `GhcThreaded = NO` becuase ticky profiling is not compatible with threaded runtime. I think this suggests that `GhcThreaded = NO` used to work. It doesn't work anymore.

Btw I just realized that this also makes ticky-ticky profiling harder becuase as far as I know ticky profiling not compatible with threaded runtime. I need to try ticky profiling for !1747 and I'm currently painfully manually linking the stage 2 executable using the method I described in my original email.

There are some hidden dependencies, in particular ghci requires GhcThreaded last I checked (and ghci == ghc --interactive, not a separate program that could be linked threaded). You may also have to disable the entire bytecode backend, which would take TH and runghc with it as well as ghci.

Anyone know how to link stage 2 with non-threaded RTS using Make build system? There's a variable GhcThreaded, but setting it "NO" makes no difference, stage 2 compiler is still threaded.

So far the only way I could find is to redirect build system output to a file, find the step that linked ghc-stage2, repeat that command but without -threaded. It's really painful as I have to repeat this step after every rebuild.

Any tips?

Thanks,
