#8498: gcc hardcoded in build scripts! (ignores the --with-gcc= flag in configure) ---------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by simonmar): I think I know why this is (came across it while looking at something else). We ask the bootstrapping GHC for the name of the C compiler it uses, and this becomes `$(CC_STAGE0)`. This is then used for compiling anything in stage 0, that is, things that we need during the build. I'm not sure why it would be used when compiling the RTS though, that seems wrong. Probably what we want to do is make `--with-gcc` set `$(CC_STAGE0)`, overriding the value provided by the stage 0 GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8498#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
