4326,Failed building GHC - Error linking on OS X,AntoineLatter,igloo,"When linking:

""/usr/bin/ld"" -r -o compiler/stage2/build/HSghc-6.13.20100919.o  <many things>

ld quits with the following error:

ld: scattered reloc r_address too large for inferred architecture i386
make[1]: *** [compiler/stage2/build/HSghc-6.13.20100919.o] Error 1

I'm running OS X 10.6, on a Core 2 Duo (which I'm pretty sure is 64 bit).

I'm building with ghc 6.12.2

I've successfully built 6.13.20100911, but it looks like a lot of changes have moved in since then. This build is from the same tree, but I did a make clean before the pull and a 'perl boot' after, which I thought was the correct process.

Let me know if you need more information, or if there is something I should try.",bug,closed,highest,7.0.1,Build System,6.13,fixed,,AntoineLatter pho@…,MacOS X,x86_64 (amd64),Building GHC failed,,,,,
