Hi,
I installed GHC 5.04.2 from binaries on my machine (running Mac OS 10.2.1
and gcc 3.1) and proceeded to try to build the latest version of GHC
from cvs, resulting in the following error message:
[lots of stuff snipped]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make all - --no-print-directory -r;
 in /Users/krc/Work/fptools/green-card/lib/hugs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -fPIC -shared -I . -DSTRICT -o StdDIS.so StdDIS.c
gcc: unrecognized option `-shared'
ld: Undefined symbols:
_main
make[3]: *** [StdDIS.so] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 1

Any idea what's up?
