(If no one minds I'll keep dumping the issues that I find in this
thread.)
Solaris "as" chokes on the ".space" directive, which appears to be
generated by the C-- compiler,
specifically, compiler/nativeGen/PprMach.hs, line 693:
pprData (CmmUninitialised bytes) = ptext SLIT(".space ") <> int
bytes
According to the GNU binutils docs:
This [.space] directive emits size bytes, each of value fill.
Both size and fill are absolute expressions. If the comma and fill
are omitted, fill is assumed to be zero. This is the same as `.skip'.
So I believe GHC should use ".skip" in this situation, at least for
solaris, but probably for all x86 platforms.
Cheers,
Bernie.
