What platform? Does everything work if you remove the -static?
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.
Wolfgang: can -static be removed on powerpc as far as you know? Cheers, Simon

On powerpc-darwin, GHC has always passed -dynamic to the linker (otherwise, nothing would work at all). So I assume this is on powerpc-linux? If so, I don't see why the PPC should be any different from Intel in this respect. I cant test it now, but maybe I'll get around to having a short look at it tomorrow. Cheers, Wolfgang

Yup, sorry (and the others are all Linux too).
Ah yes, that -static flag was lurking there from the old AIX port. It's definitely OK to remove it. I've just done so in the CVS HEAD. According to the source, alpha, hppa and mips also pass the -static flag to the linker. I've done nothing about that yet, as I have no idea why they do so. Cheers, Wolfgang

I'll check this on mips64, when I get time. But I don't think it still passes -static. This may be a relic of some ancient mips. -- Don
