---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: benl | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.13
Keywords: | Difficulty: Unknown
Os: MacOS X | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Changes (by PHO):
* version: 6.11 => 6.13
* architecture: powerpc => Unknown/Multiple
Comment:
The attached patch is a workaround for this.
Unfortunately, this problem can only be avoided by not merging objects (ld
-r) at all...

* Work around for Mach-O relocation limit
Mach-O has a limitation on the length of relocation addresses. No
segments can be larger than 2^24 - 1 bytes (approx 16 MiB; See
/usr/include/mach-o/reloc.h). Static GHCi libraries are merged large
objects so they tend to exceed this limit.
