Bad system call (core dumped) SIGSYS appears to happen in select(), is all I could get out of gdb. Prior to the patch, it was the usual error. Otherwise, 20080531 seems to work as well as 6.8.2 release on NetBSD-amd64. NetBSD defines ELF64_ST_TYPE and ELF64_ST_BIND. Unfortunately, it won't build with the GNU "ar" that's standard on this platform. It can't index archives as big as libHSbase.a: apparently, it allocates too many moderately large hash tables for the many small modules in that archive, and runs out of memory. I worked around this by reducing the default hash table size in libbfd.so. I'm not saying any of this makes sense, it's just what I eventually managed to get working. Otherwise, it builds smoothly. -- Donn Cave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
