If I remember correctly, the problem is that we sort of work- arounded it by commenting out `terminfo` for the Raspberry Pi cross compilers, but never found a real solution. It should be disabled, really (terminfo is only needed by haskeline, and haskeline is only needed by GHCi - which doesn't exist in a cross compilers.) One solution is just commenting out `terminfo` and `haskeline` from `ghc.mk`, I believe? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8746#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
