#15623: Wrong Endian, ghc-pwd and ghc-cabal on ghc 8.0.1 for powerpc64le (IBM Power) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: (none) francescantoncastro | Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Linux Architecture: powerpc64 | Type of failure: Building GHC | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I tried to compile ghc-8.0.1 from source using the powerpc64/unknown linux .tar.xz file (since the other file was for AIX). The ghc-pwd and ghc-cabal files won't execute even after stripping them with strip. The libraries included are Big Endian instead of Little Endian. I replaced the libffi library by the local one on my system (IBM Power8 with redhatenterpriseserver). ghc complains there is no cabal file after naming a symlink to cabal (on /bin) ghc-cabal (instead of the faulty ghc-cabal file).
