[Haskell-cafe] Snow Leopard Breaks GHC

[Max Bolingbroke]

Hi,

If you compile with:

-opta -m32 -optl -m32

Then you can get GHC to produce binaries again.

WARNING: currently you cannot use this trick to build a Snow Leopard
compatible GHC using the HEAD snapshot at
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/d ist/, because the most
recent (20090828) does not include the relevant patch. You have to use
HEAD directly, at least until the next packaged source release shows
up in that directory.

Once you have the source code from HEAD, you can add those flags to
SRC_HC_OPTS in your mk/build.mk and it should work. Disclaimer: I
haven't actually tried this yet.

Cheers,
Max
