#13541: Make it easier to use the gold linker -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by angerman): I might have gone a bit overboard here. I'm not sure if this ticket is related to https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3351, however clang doesn't understand `-fuse-ld` (at least not the one that comes with the android toolchain, not sure if this statement holds universally), and thus forcing that flag results in a non-functioning compiler. I certainly don't want to block anything. I just don't want to have anything forced on me by default, which might run counter to my toolchain configuration. In my view this should be part of the toolchain, and ghc should ensure to pick up the configuration from the toolchain proper instead of doing the decision on its own. I guess a similar case could be made for using lld? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13541#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
