#8965: bootstrapping failure on Linux/ppc64el --------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: cjwatson | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: powerpc64 Type of failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by cjwatson): I finally managed to figure this out, thanks in part to some debugging tips from `slyfox` on `#ghc`. The two necessary patches are attached, and I'd appreciate review. With this, I've been able to completely bootstrap GHC 7.8 on this architecture, albeit without GHCi for now. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8965#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
