Hi,

can someone explain the linking error below? (on Intel-Mac (Tiger?))

To the best of my knowledge, this is harmless and can be ignored. Linking continues after this message is printed, and I haven't yet found any adverse side-effects.

The message is triggered (in Apple's recently-rewritten linker) when there are two or more labels pointing to the very end of a section in an object file. This sometimes happens when empty _closure_tbls are emitted by GHC; it's probably not too hard to prevent this from happening.

Cheers,

Wolfgang
