#9673: aarch64 7.8.4, 7.10, 7.11: lib/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg --version does not output from subprocess -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: juhpetersen | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: aarch64 Type of failure: Installing GHC | Test Case: failed | Blocking: Blocked By: | Differential Revisions: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Erikd, are you using gold? There is a bug in the arm bfd LD wherein the linker will use a `COPY` relocation where we wouldn't expect it. As you suggest chaos ensues as the object's info table is not preserved by the linker when the symbol definition is copied. This is one of the reasons why we require gold on arm. I'll try to pit together a more complete reply in the morning. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9673#comment:21 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
