Thorkil, you called your patch illustrative only. I suggest to commit
it. Any objections? Thanks for the patch, anyway.
No objections at all, since the patch does appear to solve some real problems.
But I would suggest that we keep at least #1958 open, until we have
understood the problem better. As described in #1958, the patch is what I
would call a lucky guess, based on several experiments with different
versions of very small assembly language programs that triggered the linker
error message. I, at least, would not claim to understand what goes on in
detail.
I have not head from Apple since reporting the problem. I checked a few weeks
ago and currently I am actually unable to access the bug reporter. I have a
plan eventually to try to figure out what the real problem is (that is,
debugging the linker), but haven't gotten around to it so far.
Cheers Christian
My built can be found at:
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/ghcs/ghc-6.8.2-powerpc-apple-darwin-static-libs.tar.bz2
It uses static libs for gmp, ncurses and readline, but should run on
tiger and leopard ppc. (#1845, #2031 are still problems)
