#12075: Fails to build on powerpcspe because of inline assembly ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: glaubitz | Owner: Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler (NCG) | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: powerpc Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Changes (by trommler): * status: new => infoneeded * component: Compiler => Compiler (NCG) Comment: I think we need to be more specific when we parse the host triple in `configure.ac` and introduce instruction set variants. Right now `powerpc` (`ArchPPC` in Haskell code) refers to a server (not embedded) PowerPC. Could you please attach the output of `./configure` to this ticket so we can fix architecture detection in `configure.ac`. The native code generator assumes a server PPC with FPU so your proposed fix would only be a first step to support e500 CPUs . That is where you see your second failure. I don't have access to e500 hardware but I could help with coaching and code reviews if you would like to add support for embedded PPCs. Meanwhile you could also build an unregisterised compiler. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12075#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
