#13265: perf-llvm build fails with "Too many sections: 123418 (>= 65280)" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: rwbarton Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler (LLVM) | Version: 8.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Building GHC | Unknown/Multiple failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D3282 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by rwbarton): * differential: => Phab:D3282 Comment: The problem is actually that string sections produced by the LLVM backend are not getting merged, and the number of resulting sections was too large for what is apparently an internal limit in `ld.bfd` (`ld.gold` was happy to produce an executable with ~120000 sections). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13265#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
