ghc 6.8.3 build error with __DISCARD__ linking problem, please help!

[Yu Di]

Hi, I am trying to build ghc 6.8.3 from source release, my currently installed version is ghc 6.4.2 (x86 linux binary release version), and I got:


/usr/local/ghc/bin/ghc -o ghc-pkg.bin -H16m -O -cpp -Wall -fno-warn-name-shadowing -fno-warn-unused-matches -DUSING_COMPAT -i../../compat -ignore-package Cabal  -Rghc-timing  -package unix    -L../../compat -lghccompat   Main.o Version.o CRT_noglob.o
Main.o: In function `__stginit_ZCMain':

Do you know how I can fix this problem? My ghc and gcc versions are:

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.4.2
gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-4pclos2007)

(I also tried ghc 6.2.0 and gcc 3.3.6, but all combinations resulted in the same error message)

Thanks!
