This *might* be related to bug  #1843 on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on ppc.

I can reproduce this using the binary package  http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/maeder/ghc-6.8.1-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 by Christian Maeder, both on PPC Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and PPC Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

I'm currently trying if passing -mlongcall to gcc helps.  http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/gcc-4.0.1/gcc/RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.html

  Changed 4 years ago by maeder

Just adding -mlongcall to extra-gcc-opts did not help. When trying to compile with 

SRC_HC_OPTS += -fvia-C

in mk/build.mk I got the following error: 

 ../compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fvia-C -optc-O2 -package-name rts -static -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I. -#include HCIncludes.h -dcmm-lint     -c Apply.cmm -o Apply.o

  • summary changed from unconditional relative branch out of range (GHC version 6.8.1 for powerpc_apple_darwin) to unconditional relative branch out of range (GHC version 6.8.1/6.8.2 for powerpc_apple_darwin)

I'm suffering exactly the same problem with ghc 6.8.2 in Leopard/ppcG4.

I can reproduce the bug both with macports ghc and  http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/mac/ghcs/ghc-6.8.2-powerpc-apple-darwin-static-libs.tar.bz2

Furthermore, the problem is not limited to interactive mode. Compilation fails for this cabal package  http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/type-level-0.1

Removing the genAliases splice from Data.TypeLevel?.Num.Aliases fixes the problem.

in reply to: ↑ 9   Changed 4 years ago by fons

Replying to fons:

Removing the genAliases splice from Data.TypeLevel?.Num.Aliases fixes the problem.

The problem can also be fixed by removing the unnnecesary ghc package dependency from the cabal description (its intention is to make clear to other compilers that the code was ghc-dependent)

This makes more sense.

However, other cabal packages with the ghc dependency can be compiled without problems (e.g.  http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/parameterized-data-0.1 )

Thanks a lot for this information. In addition, the problem occurs for test case ghci024(ghci) as well, both HEAD and STABLE, for the tnaur PPC OSX builders which are Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

I also recieved this error when attempting to resolve an issue with a Yi installation by applying some suggested constraints.
A "hello" example had been compiled before this, and cabal install of all items listed in the Haskell Platform was successful.
Using OS X Leopard, PPC G5, GHC 6.10.4

$ cabal install yi --constraint="data-accessor < 0.2.1" --constraint="template-haskell < 2.4"

I can reproduce this bug on the darcs HEAD. Applying the attached patch could solve this.

  * New member "archiveMemberName" for struct _ObjectCode
  
  struct _ObjectCode should be able to retain the name of archive members.
  Though currently the only use of those names are for debugging outputs.

  * FIX #1845 (unconditional relative branch out of range)
  
  Don't use mmap on powerpc-apple-darwin as mmap doesn't support
  reallocating but we need to allocate jump islands just after each
  object images. Otherwise relative branches to jump islands can fail
  due to 24-bits displacement overflow.

Ah... I must say that... the darcs HEAD works well without my last 2 (unmerged) patches. I can't explain why, but anyway it works, so I withdraw them.

Sorry, looks like I spoke too soon. GHCi still crashes on loading GHCi libraries. It only works if we don't build GHCi libraries (not archives) at all. I'll investigate this further.
