Well, it does not seem so. Although around 7.0, there were patches to make gold ld work. But until now, the configure script is still missing something. For example, it checks that gold ld is GNU ld. Thus it uses ldscript to input .o files. But in fact, at least the version I am using, gold ld does not take relative paths from ldscript. After a few modifications to the root configure script (not others for libraries). I got it make-able. Now I am stuck at install step. The error is no HsBase.o file....

Well, the build system is intelligent enough to know what to rebuild after files got changed, and what to keep, but it does not know what files depend on what configurational changes. This gives you errors, because make still tries to use the previously built object files. Usually, many changes only go well with a clean build.

Hi, Since gold ld (GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.22) 1.11) somehow better than ld, so I am using it in my debian box. Now I want to compile ghc 7.6.1 with it. And I have modified the configure script to skip checking --hash-size, --reduce-memory-overheads and if is gnu ld (all fixed to NO). And using normal build ghc 7.6.1. I got following errors. What should I do?
