Missing _environ while compiling 6.8.1 on Leopard

[Joel Reymont]

X has nothing to do with this.

Run this test:

junior:ghc-6.8.1 joelr$ nm compiler/stage2/ghc-6.8.1|grep _environ
008f7e10 T ___hscore_environ
00a40004 D _environ

The symbol is there (D). Now run the same on /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.1/ 
ghc-6.8.1, assuming you installed into /usr/local. The symbol will  
_not_ be there.

What's going on? Take a look:

junior:ghc-6.8.1 joelr$ strip compiler/stage1/ghc-6.8.1
junior:ghc-6.8.1 joelr$ nm compiler/stage1/ghc-6.8.1|grep _environ
junior:ghc-6.8.1 joelr$

Now you see it and now you don't.

install-sh has a '-s' option that runs strip on the installed  
binaries. To work around the problem either copy the binaries from  
stage2 manually or find the Makefile that runs install-sh -s and  
remove the strip option.
