You should not IMHO. My patch should solve all your issues. :-) The only issue you may get is that your distro ghc will compile for soft-float ABI and your compiled GHC will compile to hard-float and object files will get mixed somewhere. But I trust your distro ghc builders that this is not the case so both GHCs should compile using hard-float. So issue solved, at least should be. Now I'm just waiting if you verify this or not so I'm either able to submit the patch for inclusion or hack it more...
I switched to using llvm-3.0 from rasbian, and made a lot of progress. (In retrospect I built llvm-3.1 using nix, and it was in a completely different toolchain than the rest of the build. I should have known that it wouldn't work). I was able to complete the build of ghc-7.6.1 using Karel's patch and ./configure --with-llc=/usr/bin/llc-3.0 --with-opt=/usr/bin/opt-3.0 I was able to make binary-dist after doing mkdir compiler/stage2/doc However after unpacking the binary distribution and doing a make install I get: Installing library in /tmp/bindist/lib/ghc-7.6.1/ghc-prim-0.3.0.0 ghc-cabal: Failed to read "target arch" value "ArchARM {armISA = ARMv6, armISAExt = [VFPv2], armABI = }" make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 And in particular the installed ghc gives the error: $ bin/ghc Failed to read "target arch" value "ArchARM {armISA = ARMv6, armISAExt = [VFPv2], armABI = }" Sounds to me like Karel's patch is almost, but not quite there. Karel, maybe you should try deploying a binary-dist on your panda board? -- Russell O'Connor http://r6.ca/ ``All talk about `theft,''' the general counsel of the American Graphophone Company wrote, ``is the merest claptrap, for there exists no property in ideas musical, literary or artistic, except as defined by statute.''
