Comment:
Yes, fixed by:
{{{
Tue Mar 16 23:33:57 GMT 2010 Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>
* Don't use -Bsymbolic when linking the RTS
This makes the RTS hooks work when doing dynamic linking
Mon Mar 15 17:35:41 GMT 2010 Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>
* When saying RTS options are disabled, also say how to enable them
Sun Mar 14 13:36:48 GMT 2010 Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>
* Don't enable RTS options by default
Sat Mar 13 15:45:55 GMT 2010 Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>
* Add a link-time flag to en/disable the RTS options
If RTS options are disabled then:
* The ghc_rts_opts C code variable is processed as normal
* The GHCRTS environment variable is ignored and, if it is defined, a
warning is emitted
* The +RTS flag gives an error and terminates the program
