I'm trying to put together a minimal Docker container consisting of
nothing
but GHC-compiled static executables. Below you can see a full interaction
I've had with GHC and Docker. The high level summary is that:
* When compiled statically, the executable runs just fine in both my
host OS
(Ubuntu 14.04) and an Ubuntu 14.04 Docker image
* That same executable run from a busybox (or a "scratch" image, not
shown
here since it's slightly longer to set up) hangs and then runs out of
memory
From what I remember busybox allows for quite a bit of
configurability, so "a busybox" might need a bit more details mabye.
Have you attempted running it under `strace` and/or `ltrace`?
Sorry, I left off a word: I meant "a busybox image." There's a standard
busybox Docker image which I'm testing with via the command I pasted below.
There are certainly ways to configure busybox itself, but it should be
trivial for others to reproduce this error simply by running my series of
commands.

Unfortunately, strace and ltrace aren't available in that Docker image, but
it's a good idea to see if I can get them running there somehow.
