Cannot compile ghc 8.2.1 or 8.2.2 on armv7l architectures

    • Open Issue created by mitchty @trac-mitchty

    Noticed while trying to build ghc 8.2.1, and ghc 8.2.2 on alpine linux armhf as well as nixos. Opening this ticket as I previously thought this was just some quirk of the alpine linux port but managed to find out from dhess on irc that nixos hits the same issue for both as well on armv7l arches.

    What happens. 8.2.1 logs, 8.2.2 has similar or the same issues, I was just double checking that 8.2.1 has the same problems.

    I've been poking around but i'm a bit out of my depth here in understanding the ghc rts here and debugging it as well. But its curious that only the stage2 compiler is having issues being built and not stage0 or stage1.

    If needed/desired I can provide access/login to this box for debugging but its sloooow, ~29 hours to do a build to this point.

    But I'm willing to help move things along, ghc on arm is one of the main reaons for the port to alpine linux and 8.0.2 works fine.

      Which linker are you using?

    • mitchty

      Author

      ld.gold, ld.bfd is affected by this:

      configure: error: Your linker is affected by binutils #16177, which
               critically breaks linkage of GHC objects. Please either upgrade
               binutils or supply a different linker with the LD environment
               variable.

      Even when I tried patching it with the binutils patches that configure error got tripped up. Should I retry with patched binutils and ld.bfd?

      Actually just noticed there is a new patch in the ticket, applied that and rebuilt binutils and am trying to build ghc 8.2.2 with ld.bfd instead of ld.gold.

      First time that configure check has passed so far. So my backport of that patch before was probably wrong. I'll keep you apprised.

      Yep, same crash in the same spot with ld.bfd even with the patch in #16177 (closed).
