You should not IMHO. My patch should solve all your issues. :-) The only issue you may get is that your distro ghc will compile for soft-float ABI and your compiled GHC will compile to hard-float and object files will get mixed somewhere. But I trust your distro ghc builders that this is not the case so both GHCs should compile using hard-float. So issue solved, at least should be. Now I'm just waiting if you verify this or not so I'm either able to submit the patch for inclusion or hack it more...

I switched to using llvm-3.0 from rasbian, and made a lot of progress. (In retrospect I built llvm-3.1 using nix, and it was in a completely different toolchain than the rest of the build. I should have known that it wouldn't work).

I was able to complete the build of ghc-7.6.1 using Karel's patch and

./configure --with-llc=/usr/bin/llc-3.0 --with-opt=/usr/bin/opt-3.0

I was able to make binary-dist after doing

mkdir compiler/stage2/doc

However after unpacking the binary distribution and doing a make install I get:

Installing library in /tmp/bindist/lib/ghc-7.6.1/ghc-prim-0.3.0.0
ghc-cabal: Failed to read "target arch" value "ArchARM {armISA = ARMv6,
armISAExt = [VFPv2], armABI = }"
make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

And in particular the installed ghc gives the error:

$ bin/ghc
Failed to read "target arch" value "ArchARM {armISA = ARMv6, armISAExt = [VFPv2], armABI = }"

Sounds to me like Karel's patch is almost, but not quite there.

Karel, maybe you should try deploying a binary-dist on your panda board?
