I think the first thing to do is to see if

"GhcRtsHcOpts += -keep-hc-files" in mk/build.mk will probably help so
you can look at PrimOps.hc; unfortunately we don't seem to set hcsuf -
we probably should. You might also want to check that the RTS wasn't
compiled with optimisation on. Note that this is in the 6.4 tree, not
the 6.6 one!)
The 6.4.2 compiler was built with by the hc-build script which uses
GhcWithInterpreter=NO
GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO
SplitObjs=NO
GhcLibWays=
in build.mk, so I assume it has optimization on. Can I simply add
GhcRtsHcOpts += -O0
or should I change SRC_HC_OPTS with
SRC_HC_OPTS += -O0
in the build.mk of the 6.4.2 tree? I'm also assuming that I can
just rebuild 6.4.2 with optimization off on the target amd64 box
and that I can still use my original .hc files from the i386 machine.
Is that true?
If you do make any changes to the RTS code or compilation options then
you'll have to run make and make install in 6.4.2's rts/, then delete
6.6-branch's compiler/stage1/ghc-6.6* and run make stage=1 in
compiler/.
Oakey-dokey.
Thanks
Ian
Best Wishes,
Greg
