I recently upgraded my Arch Linux system to glibc 2.12 and static binaries compiled with GHC 6.12.3 all fail with the message "mkTextEncoding: invalid argument (Invalid argument)". This did not happen with glibc 2.11. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any advice for debugging it?
Probably something to do with iconv. Doesn't iconv need to load its codec modules dynamically at runtime?
Cheers, Simon
Yes, it does, but strace seems to show that the program is looking in the right place for the iconv libraries. Is there some way to step through the code of a statically-linked program? I'm not sure how to proceed debugging a Haskell-originated error that only occurs with static linking (so I can't use the GHCi debugger). Alex
