After some inspect, I found it is caused by the low version of gcc; however, since ghc-6.6.1 does not claim version requirement on gcc, I think it should be attributed to ghc-6.6.1. ps: my gcc info gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.5/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib64 --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit x86_64-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)" bug closed high 6.8.1 Compiler 6.6.1 fixed cc1: error: unrecognized option `-fwrapv' Linux x86_64 (amd64) Unknown
