Summary: There are various distros that build GHC using their own C compilers such as MSYS2. Currently they have to patch the build scripts everytime. This patch provides the configure argument `--enable-distro-toolchain` which allows one to build using any C compiler on the path. This is also useful for testing new versions of GCC. Test Plan: ./configure --enable-distro-toolchain && make - && make THREADS=9 test ./validate Reviewers: austin, hvr, bgamari Reviewed By: bgamari Subscribers: rwbarton, thomie, erikd, #ghc_windows_task_force GHC Trac Issues: #13792 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D3637 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13792#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
