#12841: Remove or explain target triple normalization -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: shlevy | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently during configure, GHC normalizes the triple passed e.g. with --target. It's not clear why this happens, and it has caused problems in the past (See #12840, #12487), so we should probably either just remove the GHC triples altogether or add some explanations for why they're around. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12841 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
