#4022: GHC Bindist is Broken on FreeBSD/amd64 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: pgj | Owner: pgj Type: bug | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 6.13 Resolution: | Keywords: GMP,integer- | gmp, sharedlibs Operating System: FreeBSD | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Building GHC | (amd64) failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #8156 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Unfortunately I'm finding that the FreeBSD bindist for 8.6.1 fails to pass `bindisttest`: {{{ [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( bindisttest/HelloWorld.lhs, bindisttest/HelloWorld.o ) Linking bindisttest/HelloWorld ... /usr/local/bin/ld.gold: error: /usr/home/ben/bin- dist-8.6.1-FreeBSD/ghc/bindisttest/install dir/lib/ghc-8.6.1/rts/libHSrts.a(RTS.o): unexpected reloc 8 in object file ... (many more messages of the same form) }}} I suspect this is due to our insistence on using `ld.gold`. I'm going to try doing another build with `--disable-ld-override`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4022#comment:41 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
