Hi Jens, 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. Cheers, Karel On 04/ 9/14 10:21 AM, Jens Petersen wrote:

See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6719940 for the full build.log, etc. I reproduced this two times now. RC2 built okay on ARM so I am not sure what changed.
I tested and this also happens on Fedora 20 ARM [1] so I now doubt it could be due to any recent changes in Fedora devel (Rawhide). I filed https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8976.
Anyway I suppose it may be too late to fix for the 7.8.1 release but hopefully soon for 7.8.2.
