Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm the patch provider, but at least I provided patch which was merged into HEAD (don't have 7.8 branch here so check yourself) which fixes linking of binaries failure on Solaris. Please see b9b94ec82d9125da47c619c69e626120b3e60457
The core of the change is:
- else package_hs_libs ++ extra_libs ++ other_flags + else other_flags ++ package_hs_libs ++ extra_libs
Thank you for pointing to the commit. I hoped it was incidental change, but now I see the reason.
Actually this was me: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/changeset/1e2b3780ebc40d28cd0f029b90df102df... The problem I was fixing was that we weren't always passing the -optl options. Now when we invoke a program the -optXXX options always come first - I think before it was kind of random and different for each of the phases. Cheers, Simon
Thanks, Yuras
the patch contains full explanation in comment so see it for more information.
If this is not what bugs you, then please ignore me.
Thanks, Karel
