In particular, the `ghc` built always crashes with a "Symbol not found" error.

The core of the issue seems to be that `-Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs` accidentally strips some essential libraries (`libffi` is one of these). -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15990> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

This assumption mostly arises due to the lack of support for `integer-simple` `Integer`s in `RtClosureInspect.cPprTermBase`, causing many GHCi tests to break.

When I use it, the configuration step fails with the following obscure error: {{{ rm: cannot remove '.MTREE': No such file or directory }}} This is certainly caused by this line in `configure.ac`: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/93e86d6103757b43017535c92bc6970e9e2315a5/co… It's unclear what should be done in this case. Here is the command line I use to invoke Hadrian: {{{ hadrian\build --configure -j --flavour=quickest --integer-simple }}} When I run the configure script manually from the MinGW shell, it works fine. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15982> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

However, GHC 8.4.2 claims `invalid heap profile options: -hT`, and this option is not listed among the usage options printed with the error. The user guide for GHC 8.2.2 also mentions -hT, and I believe that GHC-8.2.2 also did not permit the option. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15086> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
