Comment(by creemj):
I see that the threaded build is enforced by commit 77e788960cad26bf which
was introduced between versions 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 so that seems like a good
candidate. I reverted that commit from GHC 7.6.1 Debian supplied sources
and rebuilt (partly because I could not work out how to insert
GhcThreaded=NO into the build system). Build failed in exactly the same
manner as before.
I note that 'inplace/bin/ghc-stage1 --info' now prints out:
,("RTS ways","l debug ")
so I presume I have acheived the non-threaded RTS as requested. So
problem is presumably elsewhere.
How does one perform a git bisection on ghc? There are many libraries in
the build from other git repositories that have changes between 7.4.1 and
7.4.2 which makes a bisection difficult. Is there a way around this?
