(I think, more or less.) The real problem is that Cabal still looks for the settings fields "Gcc Linker flags" and "Ld Linker flags". I guess this should be updated on the Cabal side though. (They are empty on at least Linux x86_64, which I guess is why nobody noticed before.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9614 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
