Re: Can't compile GHC 6.8.2

The suggested remedy of commenting out the line reading "SRC_HC_OPTS += -fvia-C" in the Makefile won't work, as that line isn't there anyway.

In case it is not obvious from what other people have said, way back in the days of ghc-6.2, you got -fvia-C by default, whether it was specified on the command-line or not. To override via-C, you needed to explicitly choose the opposite (-fasm). With more recent versions of the compiler, the default flipped over to -fasm. Regards, Malcolm
