Adjustor.o crash compiling ghc 6.8.3 on iBook G4 10.4.11

[povman]

1. Unzip ghc-6.8.3-src.tar.bz2
2. Unzip ghc-6.8.3-src-extralibs.tar.bz2
3. cd ghc-6.8.3
4. sh boot
5. ./configure
6. make

I get this error:

Strange... I successfully built 6.8.3 with:

   OS: MacOS X 10.4.11
   CPU: PowerPC G5
   GHC: 6.8.2
   GCC: 4.0.1

[povman]

output of make

[povman]

ktrace file (use kdump to read)

PHO: Did you install GHC 6.8.2 from a binary or source?

[PHO]

From source.

[povman]

Just installed from macports: It installed gmp-4.2.2 whereas I had 3.4.2 installed before Perl-5.8.8, i had 5.8.6 ghc-6.6.1 for bootstrapping, i had 6.8.1 (downgraded from 6.8.2 yesterday)

It installed with no errors and runs correctly. I believe this should be the recommended installation method for mac users (Currently there is no mac section on the download page).

Building using ghc 6.8.3 installed from the binary package works. When building via MacPorts?, it uses 6.8.2 to build and that causes the built stage1/ghc-inline to segfault while compiling .c files in the rts directory, not just Adjustor.c which is merely the first one.

If I run with -v -ddump-stg -ddump-simpl -ddump-cmm -dppr-debug, I get the following. ../compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-O -optc-I/opt/local/include -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-I../includes -optc-I. -optc-Iparallel -optc-Ism -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -optc-fomit-frame-pointer -optc-I/opt/local/include -optc-I../gmp/gmpbuild -optc-fno-strict-aliasing -H16m -O -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -optc-O2 -package-name rts -static -I/opt/local/include -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I. -#include HCIncludes.h -dcmm-lint -c Adjustor.c -o Adjustor.o -v -ddump-stg -ddump-simpl -ddump-cmm -dppr-debug Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.8.3, for Haskell 98, stage 1 booted by GHC version 6.8.2 Using package config file: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_ghc/work/ghc-6.8.3/driver/package.conf.inplace Segmentation fault

I reported a very similar looking bug to macports this week at  http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17184 which I have updated to point to this ghc bug.

[igloo]

Lowering priority as not a tier 1 arch.

[simonmar]

Probably not a build-system bug.

[igloo]

Bus error in the 6.8 branch, and on a non-tier-1 platform, so closing.
