#1654: GHC Panic in 20070827
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: 6.8
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.7
Severity: major | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Os: Linux
Testcase: | Architecture: x86
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
I downloaded http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/dist/ghc-6.7
.20070827-src.tar.bz2
I used GHC 6.6 (the binary provided by arch linux) to compile this in
"quickest" mode: in mk, I copied build.mk.sample to build.mk, and
uncommented out the assignment BuildFlavour = quickest
I built this compiler, and installed it to /usr/local. I uninstalled the
distribution's GHC binary. I used my freshly built one to build alex,
happy, mtl, and haddock, but not in that order. I installed them, again to
/usr/local
I then unpacked a fresh copy of the above tarball, and again copied
build.mk.sample to build.mk, and uncommented the assignment BuildFlavour =
perf I bumped up the heap size (-H128M) just because I have memory to
spare and figured every bit helps.
This time, I ran the compile, and GHC panic'd during the build. Here's the
relevent---I think---bit of the make:
{{{

I followed a similar procedure to try and build ghc-6.7.20070830-src. This
one, I tried to build using quickest as defined in build.mk.sample Here's
the error in that case:

I can give you tarballs of both source trees (with the partially compiled
bits therein) as well as the ghc binary I originally built and installed.
The distribution's GHC package can be found at:
ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/ghc-6.6-1.pkg.tar.gz This is basically
nothing but a tarball of the binary with a few files at the toplevel, so
if needed, it shouldn't be hard to analyze what's inside it. Finally, if
you need additional diagnostic tasks on my part, don't hesitate to ask.
