#8921: ghc-stage2 fails with ld: fatal: library -lrt: not found on topHandler02(profthreaded) test -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AlainODea | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Compile-time | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 crash | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by AlainODea): This line needs to be removed: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/main/DynFlags.hs#L1216 It will break -profthreaded on all Solaris and Illumos OSes released since 2006. It leads to a paradox where gcc is handed -r (relocatable) and -lrt (link librt) which combined requires librt.a which doesn't and won't ever exist on any Solaris or Illumos system. I'll provide a patch once I've done some more testing. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8921#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
