#13541: Make it easier to use the gold linker -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Another unfortunate aspect of the status quo is that the user may think that passing `LD=gold` to `./configure` will configure the compiler to use `gold`, but they would be wrong. Another approach that may be would be to check whether `LD` is set to `gold` and if so check for a functional `-fuse-ld=gold`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13541#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
