GHC-6.8.1 fails arith003 on amd64/FreeBSD-7.0
I am trying to build a native amd64 compiler on FreeBSD. At the bootstrap stage I use the -i386 compiler as ghc: This works to stage1. The stage1 compiler is usable in a limited way. But the stage2 compiler built with this fails very early (before even complaining about missing -B options, if started naked).
Ex.:
/home/wb.local/ghc-6.8.2 0$ compiler/stage2/ghc-6.8.2
Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)
wb@yorikke:ttyp2
/home/wb.local/ghc-6.8.2 0$ compiler/stage1/ghc-6.8.2
ghc-6.8.2: missing -B<dir> option
The most reproducable misbehaviour of the stage1 compiler is the unability to run test arith003. The value minInt is converted to a nonprintable 1-char string in the int_ops part. Most other results, including the multiple precision tests, look better than the output from x86-64-openbsd (as published with the 6.6.1-testsuite). It looks as if there is a specific problem with bit pattern 0x8000000000000000L. If I change the source code to avoid this pattern (minInt -> minInt+1) the error does not occur.
