Also, when I try to compile for ticky-ticky profiling...

Further in the ticky-ticky adventure...

Having compiled the libraries and RTS and other bits for ticky-ticky, when I try the -ticky option with ghc I get loads of messages like this at link-time:

/homes/njn25/ws/build/ghc/driver/../rts/libHSrts_t.a(GC.t_o): In function `threadSqueezeStack': GC.t_o(.text+0x2fe0): undefined reference to `LDV_recordDead_FILL_SLOP_DYNAMIC' GC.t_o(.text+0x3010): undefined reference to `LDV_recordCreate' GC.t_o(.text+0x304d): undefined reference to `LDV_recordCreate'

It looks like ticky-ticky has rotted a bit. Some calls to LDV_recordDead_FILL_SLOP_DYNAMIC() and LDV_recordCreate() in Storage.h need to be additionally wrapped in #ifdef TICKY_TICKY. There may be more. If you send me a patch, I'll commit it. Cheers, Simon
