Note: Phab:D3540 does not fix @glaubitz' issue in this ticket but fixes a bug that I discovered while I investigated the bug on powerpc64le Linux. AIX is also affected by the same bug, I think. As I said in comment:11 no inline assembly from `StgCRun.c` nor any code from `StgCRunAsm.S` should be passed to the assembler on a powerpc (32-bit) configured with `--enable-unregsisterised`. I also don't understand why `HeapStackCheck.cmm` fails. It does not contain any inline assembly. I wonder whether ghc does not pass the options required for @glaubitz' system (soft float implementation) to gcc. I set status `infoneeded` again while we are waiting for the input requested in comment:11 and comment:14. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12075#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
