#8781: check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: kgardas Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Christian, I've not pushed this patch to Austin for inclusion in 7.8.1 as I've though it's already too late and the patches now in RCx times should be quite safe or fix real regression. Let's see after 7.8.1 is out of door if Austin thinks this may be merged into HEAD or not. What do you find on this patch scary? It simply uses and parses different output from Solaris nm than it's provided from GNU nm and it also automatically test if its using GNU or Solaris' nm and behaves accordingly. So what's problem with it? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8781#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
