Dear GHC team, I am trying to make ghc-6.5.20060831 from source by ghc-6.4.1 under Linux, i386-unknown. It has got to /home/mechvel/ghc/6.4.1/inst/bin/ghc -H16m -O -istage1/utils -istage1/basicTypes -istage1/types -istage1/hsSyn -istage1/prelude -istage1/rename -istage1/typecheck -istage1/deSugar -istage1/coreSyn -istage1/specialise -istage1/simplCore -istage1/stranal -istage1/stgSyn -istage1/simplStg -istage1/codeGen -istage1/main -istage1/profiling -istage1/parser -istage1/cprAnalysis -istage1/ndpFlatten -istage1/iface -istage1/cmm -istage1/nativeGen -Istage1 -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fno-generics -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -package unix -ignore-package lang -recomp -Rghc-timing -H16M '-#include "cutils.h"' -i../compat -ignore-package Cabal -funbox-strict-fields -c parser/Lexer.hs -o stage1/parser/Lexer.o -ohi stage1/parser/Lexer.hi and looped at this point during about 50 minutes, without any report. Finally, it was done, and now, I hope, it will make the rest. But I wonder whether this loop is suspicious. The command `top' has been showing CPU %MEM 20633 mechvel ... 99.9 2.1 ... ghc-asm for 50 minutes (`as' is assembly, and who is ghc-asm, I wonder). The machine is i-686, 512 Mb RAM, vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 601.371 cache size : 256 KB autoreconf has reported it could not find this and that, but it is, probably, all right (?) config.log is --------------------------------------- ...
