Build error on MacOSX (Intel) 10.4.8 for HEAD from 2007-03-05 when compiling with ghc-6.6

Description (Last modified by igloo)

make on MacOSX does not seem to stop when built errors occur. The first error message is:

/tmp/ghc23705_0/ghc23705_0.split__38.s:unknown:missing indirect symbols for section (__TEXT,__symbol_stub)

which happens after build step:

== make all -r -f Makefile;

------------------------------------------------------------------------

All following files consequently fail to build with the error message:

 <File>.hs:1:0:
    Failed to load interface for `Prelude':
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

I was building with:

On PPC Mac OS X 10.4, http://darcs.haskell.org:8010/tnaur%20PPC%20OSX%20head/builds/12/step-compilestage1/0 has a different error:

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

But the reaction following the error is similar:

description changed.
milestone set to 6.6.2.

I suspect the problem is with mk/target.mk, around line 1172, which looks roughly like this:

all:
    @case '${MFLAGS}' in *-[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *-r*[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *) x_on_err=1;; esac; \
    for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
        $(MAKE) -C $$i all; \
        if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; then true; else exit 1; fi; \
    done

I've pushed a patch to the 6.6 branch and HEAD which will should give some more information about what's going on:

hunk ./mk/target.mk 1179
+       if [ $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; \
+           then echo "Won't exit on error due to MFLAGS: ${MFLAGS}"; \
+       fi; \
hunk ./mk/target.mk 1188
-         if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ] ;  then true; else exit 1; fi; \
+         if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; \
+             then echo "Finished making $@ in $$i": $$?; \
+             else echo "Failed making $@ in $$i": $$?; exit 1; \
+         fi; \
