oh dear. To debug this, you need to:
- re-compile the RTS with debugging support. You need to
copy a couple of lines from mk/config.mk.in into mk/build.mk,
and uncomment them. Search for 'GhcRtsHcOpts'. Then go
into fptools/ghc/rts and 'make clean boot && make all'. You
might need to re-configure with --enable-hc-boot first,
because
the bootstrap was in the post-hc-boot stage.
- re-link the compiler: cd fptools/ghc/compiler && rm hsc &&
make.
- Run gdb on the compiler. In order to do this, go into
fptools/ghc/lib/std, type 'make EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-v', then ^Z to
suspend it. Cut-n-paste the command line used to run the
compiler,
and run it in gdb.
- See where it crashes, and send us the 'where' output from gdb.
We'll
see where to go from there.
Cheers,
Simon
