dons:
I got another (loopy) compile on alpha-dec-osf3 that went through cleanly, with the following fixes:
[..]
And then everything went though, to the re-configure part of hc-build, but the ghc-inplace seems to go into an infinite loop on invocation. It won't produce output even with invalid command line flags. It just sits and spins for a few minutes, and then I have to kill it.
A quick gdb session on stage1/ghc-6.0.1 on the alpha-dec-osf3: (gdb) run # ^C it after a little while: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x1212c62c4 in StgRun () at StgCRun.c:6 6 * STG-to-C glue. (gdb) break StgRun Breakpoint 1 at 0x1212c6298: file StgCRun.c, line 6. # run it: Breakpoint 1, 0x1212c6298 in StgRun () at StgCRun.c:6 6 * STG-to-C glue. (gdb) step 0x1212c6728 in stg_init () at StgStartup.hc:6 (gdb) step # I ^C it after a little while: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0x1212c62b0 in StgRun () at StgCRun.c:6 6 * STG-to-C glue. So it stalls or loops (it sits at 98% of cpu) on entry to stg_init(). More info will have to wait until I try a debug build. -- Don
