#421: Cabal shouldn't try to build split-objs when ghc reports it does not
support it
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: duncan | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: low | Milestone: Cabal-1.8
Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3
Platform: |
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
It is possible to build ghc without support for object splitting. In such
a case Cabal should refuse to work if the user enables split objs.
All one has to do is to parse the output of `ghc --info` (which is in a
`Read/Show` format).
See also #24.
