#12147: GHC's Linker Should Support Relocation Type 42 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gershomb | Owner: Type: bug | Status: merge Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.2 Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.1 (Linker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D2303 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomasjm): I'm another victim: this has been failing for me on Ubuntu 16.04 when trying to use IHaskell and IHaskell's display libraries--both the cryptonite package and the glib package are triggering this problem. (The stack resolver is lts-6.2.) I think there are some workarounds I could use where I compile these packages with some stack settings like ghc-options: glib: -opta-Wa,-mrelax-relocations=no rebuild-ghc-options: true apply-ghc-options: everything but I'd really appreciate if there were a 7.10.4 release that fixes this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12147#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
