#12075: Fails to build on powerpcspe because of inline assembly ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: glaubitz | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: powerpc Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by glaubitz): So, this actually seems to be fairly easy to fix but I cannot come up with a satisfiable patch. Basically, we just need to disable rts/AdjustorAsm.S in rts/ghc.mk if the C compiler defines {{{__NO_FPRS__}}}. When this macro is defined, the CPU is using FPU emulation instead of a hardware FPU, so basically the same as for ARM soft-float. Looking at the main {{{ghc.mk}}}, it does something similar for ARM but it actually defines a Haskell constructor with "SOFT" defined for armABI in case of FPU emulation. Can someone more familiar with the build system suggest a patch which I can test? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12075#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
