#8781: check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: kgardas Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Austin, could you be so kind and merge the "change deriveConstants to use nm in a POSIX way" patch to HEAD? This basically allows us to use Solaris' own nm and not need to rely on GNU nm on this OS. Also it preserves compatibility with GNU nm of course! Thanks!
