Description Jens Petersen 2012-07-12 04:53:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Apparently somehow llvm-3.1 is missing the ghc ARM support
that was merged into llvm-3.0.  Presumably an upstream mistake.
Anyway I think we need to patch llvm-3.1 for ARM if we want
have functioning ghc in F18 ARM.  Currently Haskell programs linked
with llvm-3.1 segfault very early on.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to build any ghc-* package with f18 arm
2. minimal testcase:
$ cat > hello.hs
main = putStrLn "hello"
$ ghc --make hello.hs
$ ./hello
  
Actual results:
Segfault!

Expected results:
no segfaults

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2012-07-12 05:09:37 UTC
Just to confirm: reverting to llvm-3.0-13.fc18 fixes the ARM segfaults.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2012-07-12 06:19:25 UTC
According to the mail the original llvm-3.0 patch should work also for 3.1:

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2012-07-12 09:14:08 UTC
Referenced patch didn't apply cleanly on ARM. There was another one attached to the original email post that was much closer.

It needed one section manually applied so the attched patch I think is good.

The following is a scratch build if someone could test that is fixes the problem I'll push the change I have in my local git and build it properly.

Thanks Peter for working on this.  I will try to test your build.

I successfully tested it on armv5tel and it fixes the ghc segfaults
so looks good to me (tested both hello.hs and building the hscolour
package in mock).

I can try to test armv7hl later using the koji static repo
(the arm rawhide seems to have some perl breakage today.)
