#11206: ARM is generally a disaster -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: arm Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #11205, #11289, | Differential Rev(s): #11294, #11295, #11296, #11297, | #11340 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by erikd): Armv7 and Armv8 are not just different ABIs, they are completely different architectures (different instructions set even). IN addition, however many problems there are with Armv7, the ones with Armv7 are significantly worse. Debian shipped a working ghc-7.8.4, but the current ghc-7.10.3 is completely busted due to a bug in LLVM that was never fixed. I've been using Debian's old ghc-7.8.4 to build the GHC 8.0 branch, but I currently cannot build Git HEAD because git head requires ghc-7.10. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11206#comment:23 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
