#10464: ghc 7.8.4 on arm ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: andrewufrank | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: arm Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * cc: nomeata (added) * failure: Compile-time performance bug => None/Unknown * component: Compiler => Build System Comment: From reading this [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15247569/warning- cannot-scan-executable-section-for-cortex-a8-erratum-because-it-has-no question] on stackoverflow, I think GHC should be built with the option `STRIP_CMD = :` for your platform. The `debian/rules` file in http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/ghc/ghc_7.8.4-9.debian.tar.xz contains: {{{ ifneq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))) # echo "GhcStage1HcOpts += -DDEBUG" >> mk/build.mk # echo "GhcStage2HcOpts += -DDEBUG" >> mk/build.mk echo "SRC_HC_OPTS += -H32m -O0" >> mk/build.mk echo "GhcHcOpts += -Rghc-timing -DDEBUG" >> mk/build.mk # echo "GhcLibHcOpts += -O -dcore-lint -keep-hc-files " >> mk/build.mk echo "SplitObjs = NO" >> mk/build.mk echo "STRIP = :" >> mk/build.mk endif }}} Notice `STRIP` on the last line. That should at least be `STRIP_CMD`, ever since the following commit: commit 0481fe092fd9e274096fff1fd9885fd68805202a {{{ Author: Ian Lynagh <> Date: Wed Jun 16 16:11:08 2010 +0000 Rename some variables from FOO to FOO_CMD This fixes a problem with commands like gzip, where if $GZIP is exported in the environment, then when make runs a command it'll put the Makefile variable's value in the environment. But gzip treats $GZIP as arguments for itself, so when we run gzip it thinks we're giving it "gzip" as an argument. }}} Please open a bug with Debian, linking back to this question. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10464#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
