#7056: GHCi loadArchive "libiconv.a":failed Unknown PEi386 section name `.drectve' ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: songpp | Owner: thoughtpolice Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: GHCi | Version: 7.4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: loadArchive Unknown PEi386 Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: GHCi | Difficulty: Unknown crash | Blocked By: 3658 Test Case: | Related Tickets: #2487, #7103 Blocking: | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by simonmar): We should probably just ignore section names that we don't understand. I think the linker is just being extra paranoid in making sure it understands the whole contents of the object file, but this breaks with pretty much every new gcc/binutils. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7056#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
