So I run that gcc command manually adding -lpthread at the end of it end it works, I get the static binary. Isn't it strange? It could be a gcc problem.
Well, it needn't be that hacky ;) The following command works for me and it does essentially the same thing: ghc -i -static -optl-static -optl-pthread -funbox-strict-fields -fwarn-incomplete-patterns -isrc --make Main -o bin/restyscript Please note that without -optl-pthread option, I'll get exactly the same errors: Linking bin/restyscript ... /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../lib/librt.a(timer_create.o): In function `timer_create': (.text+0x117): undefined reference to `pthread_once' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../lib/librt.a(timer_create.o): In function `timer_create': ... -lpthread needs to be put to the end of the argument list to help gcc or ld solve the symbols properly. Hope this helps ;) -agentzh
