#10801: ghc returns ExitFailure (-4) when compiling some projects on ARM -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Ansible | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: arm Type of failure: Compile-time | Test Case: compile a crash | big web project Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Ansible): I'm glad to see an arm binary for 7.10.2, but it hasn't worked for me - it fails to compile 'hello world'. I didn't know gold was recommended for 7.8.2. I followed the procedure here for enabling it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gold_linker "ghc --info" still reports "("ld command","/usr/bin/ld")". I guess that's normal? Is there another way to enable gold? When I had debian jessie and 7.10.2, "ghc --info" reported gold as the 'ld command'. At any rate, this is what I get for ld --version. {{{ [bburdette@alarmpi epicmeatbars]$ ld --version GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.25.1) 1.11 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. }}} Unfortunately this didn't allow the link to work in my 'epic' project, but maybe it would if I recompiled everything. I'll go ahead with that and see if it helps. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10801#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
