In ghc/compiler/main/DriverFlags.hs machdepCCOpts includes a "-static" flag for some arches. Is this really necessary? I can't see any comments as to why, nor any real answers from a quick google.
I can't remember why either.
It causes this when compiling darcs on these arches:
/usr/lib/ghc-6.2/libHSunix.a(User.o)(.text+0x2a2c): In function `s6T9_ret': : warning: Using 'getgrgid_r' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
which I assume would lead to too strict dependencies on glibc being necessary.
What platform? Does everything work if you remove the -static? Cheers, Simon

alpha, powerpc and hppa so far. I expect the same will happen for mips and mipsel. If, on powerpc, I run the final link command without -static (that's the only place it should make a difference, right?) then it links without warnings and looks to be working fine. I haven't looked at the others yet. Thanks Ian

Same on alpha and hppa. I unfortunately don't have access to mips/mipsel at the moment. Thanks Ian
