dll-split during stage 2 compiling ghc v7.8.3 for arm_linux

Trying to compile GHC 7.8.3 for ubuntu/arm. Was in Stage 1 for 8 hours before exiting with following message:

dll-split: internal error: evacuate(static): strange closure type 0
    (GHC version 7.8.3 for arm_unknown_linux)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
make[1]: *** [compiler/stage2/dll-split.stamp] Aborted (core dumped)
make: *** [all] Error 2

changed weight to 5

added Tbug Trac import labels

changed milestone to %7.8.4

I confirm this bug. Trying to compile GHC-7.8.3 on Raspberry Pi and get this error:

changed the description

Probably the same issue as #8976 (closed). Are you using gold or bfd ld?

We have a patch in preparation right now that might address this, stay tuned! But check the comments on #8976 (closed) first.

It seems, that I use bfd ld, but after changing link from /usr/bin/ld to ld.gold I get the same error.

Can you try building the latest HEAD? You will probably need to use 7.6.3 as your bootstrapping compiler.

I started to build HEAD by GHC-7.6.3, but I have RPi with only 256 MB of RAM. It will take some time, I think 2 or 3 days...

Unfortunately, I got the following error:

Thanks for testing. Hmm, how odd. This happens before dll-split gets build, so it seems that it must be due to an unrelated change in HEAD; but I can't find what that change could be.

Hopefully the LLVM mangler patch will be backported to 7.8 soon, and then you can try with that.

The patch for #9439 (closed) isn't on the ghc-7.8 branch yet, but it seems to apply cleanly, so you can try making a clone of ghc-7.8, git cherry-pick 5895f2b8ffba72a8393e9f712461e6e5ed7ceced and then build as usual.

changed milestone to %7.10.1

Moving (in bulk) to 7.10.4

closed

I don’t think this is more than a duplicate of #8976 (closed), closing as such.
