Comment (by ChrisKuklewicz):
I installed the binary distribution prepared by
[http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_681.html#macosxppc Greg
Heartsfield] on OS X 10.5 on a G4 powerbook.
ghci starts (hooray). The compiler does not segfault.
I am compiling the simplest test.hs which contains "main = return ()" or
"main = undefined". I am compiling with "ghc -v5 -fasm test.hs" and "ghc
-v5 -fvia-C test.hs" . The same error occurs with both options.
The ghc compiler needs the linker (ld64) from gcc (the version from XCode
3.0) in the guise of the "/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-
darwin9/4.0.1/collect2" binary. This program is the one that prints the
"unknown scattered relocation type 4" error.
A search of google has this "unknown scattered relocation" in the google
cache for the code for /ld64/src/Readers/ObjectFileMachO.cpp
So I would say the error is definitely due to the upgrading of gcc and the
linker.
If there is any diagnostic that I could do that would help, let me know at
