Dear all, I can't get the hc-boot process to work for sparc64-linux-debian. I compiled from the ghc-4.08.2 hc-files, but when I run the executable, I get
Starting program: /home/joe/ghc-4.08.2/ghc/compiler/hsc (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)... Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. 0x7ccdd8 in forceIO_info () (gdb) where #0 0x7ccdd8 in forceIO_info () #1 0x7ccec0 in stg_init_ret () #2 0x7c45b4 in schedule () #3 0x7c4bd8 in waitThread () #4 0x7c30a4 in rts_evalIO () #5 0x7c2ab4 in main () #6 0x700df450 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
Which .hc files did you use? To port to a new architecture you really
need to start from an unregisterised build. As I recall, 4.08.2 also
has some 64-bit incompatibilities, which might cause problems porting to
sparc64.
I don't want to put you off, but this *really* isn't for the
faint-hearted ;-)
