Linking hsc2hs .c output on Windows w/ build system: is it just me..?
Hi, I've been experiencing repeated woes over the past 4-5 months when trying to spin up build trees on Windows with the new build system. This is happening on the 3-4 boxes that I regularly develop on, which leads me to believe that this may not be limited to just me.. The problem is that hsc2hs generated .c files (Foo_hsc_make.c) when compiled and linked via the 'ghc' that's configured against, will produce .exe's that crashes right out of the gates. gdb'ing the generated binaries, the crash is happening in the CRT startup code & with some further poking around I've been able to determine that it is the explicit presence of "-l" options for 'kernel32' and 'msvcrt' when linking that's the cause. This is with a variety of versions of 'ld' and binutils snapshots (2.17.x -- 2.19). Using the 2.19.1 version that ships with gcc4.3.3 snapshots for mingw is well-behaved, but ghc is still using gcc-3.4.5.
