#12147: GHC's Linker Should Support Relocation Type 42 ----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: gershomb | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- As per: https://github.com/DanielG/ghc- mod/issues/762#issuecomment-213743585 "gas >= 2.26 uses some new relocation types (in particular type 42, aka R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX), which are not supported by ghc's linker." This causes problems when linking in libs with certain sorts of c bits via the GHC API (at the very least). Support should be added. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12147 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
