#6063: GHC's build-time ld-flag checks are problematic ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: parcs | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.4.1 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: GHC doesn't work at all Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: #4862 | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by nh2): @jlebar That's not so easy, but you could actually make it *use* gold. See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6952396/why-does-ghc-take-so- long-to-link/16105691#16105691. Might also contain some other relevant info for you (e.g. that -pgml is actually gcc, so you'd have to tell gcc which linker it should call, and I guess that's why your env variable doesn't work). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6063#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
