#7770: Remove a bitrotted hack for OpenBSD and NetBSD regarding the dyn way --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: PHO | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Building GHC failed | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- On OpenBSD and NetBSD, we were accidentally passing ``-optl-pthread`` to the gcc to build dynamic libraries because of a bitrotted hack for those OSes, which resulted in a weird situation where every dynamic library is named "ptl-pthread" and placed at ``$(TOP)``. The hack in question were to work around a linkage problem with libHSffi, but we no longer build it and just use libffi these days so the hack can safely be removed. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7770 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
