building ghc7.0.1.20110217 under x86 solaris fails

changed weight to 5

Looks like it is parsing -soname libHSrts-ghc7.0.1.20110217.so as -s -o name libHSrts-ghc7.0.1.20110217.so.

I assume this didn't work with 7.0.1 either?

I've got a working (though basically unused) ghc-7.0.1 (below). Was dynamic linking switched on? -soname is no legal option for solaris' ld. If I omit this part I get:

Ah, you are right, it was enabled by this patch in 7.0.2, but wasn't in 7.0.1:

Karel, do you know why this works for you? Do you use the GNU ld or something?

As you can see in my patch I've not tinkered with soname machinery and yet it works for me. My wild guess is that either ghc is using soname functionality by using gcc and gcc is used to use --soname or ghc does it on its own, and then we shall hack ghc to use -h' instead of --soname' on solaris. See my ld's --help output cut:

$ ld --help 2>&1|ggrep -C 1 soname
			create a shared object
	[-h name], [--soname name]
			use 'name' as internal shared object identifier

and compare this with Christian 5.10:

        [-h name]       use `name' as internal shared object identifier

Please let me know if I shall attempt to do this or you will do it yourself. I would done this in configure.ac machinery if done by myself.

assigned to @trac-igloo

Actually, according to my manpage, gnu ld supports both:

`-h NAME'
`-soname=NAME'

and we don't use this code path on OS X or Windows, so I'll just change it to always use -h.

I'm surprised -soname works for you when --soname is what's in the help output, though. Perhaps they also accept that for GNU compatibility.

FYI: Yes, Solaris 11 Express' ld accepts also `-soname' (crude test):

$ ld -soname test
ld: fatal: soname option (-h, --soname) is incompatible with building a dynamic executable
ld: fatal: no files on input command line

Omitting the "-shared" flag results in "ld: fatal: library -lHSrtsmain: not found", but for the 7.0.2 release I would suggest to switch off the recently added shared library support.

Unfortunately if you disable shared libs, then neither DTrace is working which is kind of pity, isn't it? Could you be so kind and test that the build does not break if you remove ``i386-unknown-solaris2'' from \PlatformSupportsSharedLibs'' in mk/config.mk ? If not, then this might be the easiest way how to disable the support, yet describe in Wiki how to enable it for SunOS 5.11 by user... And we can later investigate this failure for 7.2.1 release.
