Compiling bytestring-mmap with -fvia-C yields broken .s file, two .size directives
I tried to install the bytestring-mmap package, which specifies in its cabal file the option -fvia-C (when this is removed, the package compiles fine).
I'm using GHC 7.0.2 (installed Haskell Platform recently) on x86_64 (Ubuntu 11.04). On my system, I can reliably reproduce with simply
$ cabal install bytestring-mmap-0.2.1
To get the .s file I attached, you need to unpack the package, edit the cabal file to include the GHC option -keep-tmp-files
, and then cabal install
there. The error shows the location of the .s file:
bytestring-mmap-0.2.1$ cabal install
