#8134: ghc enters a loop while building 7.6.3 for powerpc64 platform. -------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: k0da | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.6.3 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: powerpc64 Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by trommler): Replying to [comment:7 juhpetersen]:
Still not completely sure if this is a ghc or glibc issue or some conflict between them. Apparently the pthread handling on non-intel glibc is different from intel platforms. But we don't see the issue on PowerPC 32 bit, which is registerized and has a native code generator. PowerPC 64 is unregisterized.
