> I don't think it's worth working around this in GHC
I think this is not a workaround as the linker flags should not indeed
passed when no linking is done. I do not think that the warning is bogus.
It is just a more fine-grained way to pass the flags only when they are
really needed.
> (a) it doesn't cause any real problems, just prints some warnings
...for every Haskell module, which -- as I wrote above -- triples the
number of the messages printed to the screen. I do not think that it is
good to see such messages all the time.
> (b) it can be solved by upgrading to a recent gcc.
It is not by accident that the FreeBSD base system does not have a more
recent GCC, folks here are moving to a Clang/LLVM instead. Of course, I
could use a newer GCC by adding it as a dependency for the port, but I was
trying to avoid this.
Anyways, since GCC is going to be removed from the base system in the next
major release, I shall switch to this solution soon... :-)
> I have just pushed a patch to fix the problem that `LdCmd` wasn't
getting defined in the bindist `configure.ac`, though. Thanks for spotting
that.
Great, thanks!
