With ghc-6.12.1 and gcc-4.x.y (x < 3) I did not have such a problem when switching to a machine that only has gcc-3.4.4.
You got lucky; mixing GCC major versions like that is not expected (much less guaranteed) to work in general. GCC evidently changed the way it implements some thread support routines between gcc3 and gcc4. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxypcMACgkQIn7hlCsL25XfwQCgobnqHhGUL+uvKQ1o++yL6kt7 m3MAn2BV55Tvv2gfG8WEV3jyATeAVytN =LGuK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
