#6063: GHC's build-time ld-flag checks are problematic ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: parcs | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: GHC doesn't work at all Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: #4862 | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by ezyang): On the other hand, having to shell out to ld every time we run GHC is a bit of a bummer, as far as performance goes. A stop-gap may be to just re- run ld without the lfags if it fails the first time; in the good case, we still manage to only do one invocation. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6063#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
