Seems about 50/50. In either case, it crashes either before ghc has printed out any "Compiling" lines, or within the first 1 or 2 files compiled. I got lucky and found out a way to avoid the crash.. cabal was passing -j2 to ghc. If I remove the -j2, the build proceeds without a crash. The hardware is a CubieTruck arm board, with 2 gb of ram, and 1 cpu core, running Debian armel unstable, with kernel 3.4.103. I was able to use cabal to install the entire dependencies of git-annex, all the way up to yesod, which takes hours on this hardware, and all that built ok.. so I think the hardware is pretty stable, but still cannot really rule out a hardware problem. Happy to debug further, although this machine is a bit resource constrained to do things like building ghc on it. ghc 7.8.4 and 7.10.1 both crash the same way. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

(I see your board has an ARMv7 processor, but maybe the Debian toolchain is set up to target an earlier architecture by default.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I also expect 7.10.3 and 8.0.1 to be better again. During debugging #10375 I found two serious problem with the interaction between Arm and Thumb2 code. Ghc 7.10.3 and 8.0 will both force all code to be `armv6-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` which should fix a lot of the problems like this one. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

But would forcing hf mean ghc can't be used on regular eabi arm systems? Debian is still targeting eabi in its armel architecture. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

The patch currently forces `armv6-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`, but the `hf` is not the important bit. The important bit is to make sure the C code and Haskell code both get compiled to Arm instructions and not Thumb2 instructions. I suppose what we really need is two distinct but related architectures; `armv6-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` and something `armel` related. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

If you could post the first 10 or so lines of that file (it should contain information about the target triple) that would be a good first step. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
