libraries/ghc-prim/cbits/atomic.c:311:54: error:
error: '__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST' undeclared (first use in this function)
This is due to Peter Trommler's D4009 (bd765f4b1332b3d2a7908de3f9ff1d50da0e0b1d). This changes the atomic primops to use new GCC builtins available only in GCC 4.7 and later. This version was released in 2012, so I thought we would be fairly safe requiring it. This is another case where upgrading your Ubuntu installation will help. That being said, we should certainly provide a better error message, perhaps catching this in `configure` instead of failing during the build. We could also provide a fallback in the event that we are compiling with an older gcc, although I'm not sure that this is worth the effort. Cheers, - Ben
