#8615: All packages built with GHC / clang are failing ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sylvestre | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I am trying to rebuild the Debian archive using clang instead of gcc. The biggest source of errors (622 over 2188 [1]) is related to GHC. Clang does not implement the "-u" option [2]. This is causing most (all?) of the "GHC based" packages to fail to build. with: {{{ /usr/lib/ghc/libHSrts.a(RtsStartup.o): In function `hs_exit_': (.text+0x49): undefined reference to `base_GHCziTopHandler_flushStdHandles_closure' }}} Of course, if you think it is not GHC's fault at all or there is no workaround, don't hesitate to close this bug.
