#8781: check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): To fix that it's IMHO a matter of extending deriveConstants to also support POSIX nm output. For example with POSIX nm and '-p' option we get very near to what GNU nm provides, but still there are some differences which should be handled by deriveConstants. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8781#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
