I compiled using qemu instead of a real PI, and I used a 2G ram disk for swap. Without the swap the compile would not complete, nor would "cabal install cabal-install". Here's my build on the PI: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80409492/ghc-7.8.1-rc2.zip and here's my .cabal folder. Compiling cabal-install also required the ram disk. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80409492/pi_7.8.1-rc2-.cabal.zip And this is the distro I was using: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~eberdahl/Satellite/ -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8896#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Here's my build of ghc on the PI: [...]

For reference, I tried to use your build on my rpi, under Raspbian, with some success. Ghci doesn't work though (the illegal instruction error even occurs one package earlier, when linking integer-gmp). I compiled quite a few packages succesfully. However, installing vector-0.10.9.1 fails: when compiling the module Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic, ghc tries to link in the integer-gmp package, and this fails. This reminds me of #8212. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8896#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
