#10402: powerpc: unhandled ELF relocation(RelA) type 252 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: cjwatson | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 7.8.4 System | Operating System: Linux Keywords: | Type of failure: Runtime crash Architecture: powerpc | Blocked By: Test Case: | Related Tickets: Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Building some Debian packages on powerpc with GHC 7.8.4 fails as shown in this [https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=haskell-wai-app- static&arch=powerpc&ver=3.0.1-3&stamp=1431236338 build log], e.g.: {{{ ghc: /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/powerpc-linux-ghc-7.8.4/unix- time-0.3.5/libHSunix-time-0.3.5.a: unhandled ELF relocation(RelA) type 252 }}} I'm no PPC ABI expert, but I think the attached patch against master (which applies equally to 7.8.4) is reasonably plausible, and it at least allows wai-app-static to build cleanly. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10402 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
