The byte code interpreter (which hlint uses) has its own dynamic linker to load binaries. I suppose the platforms that you listed this is not supported and GHCi (or more precisely the part of GHCi that requires the byte code interpreter) is not built. Specifically, the following modules are not built:
DsMeta TcSplice Convert ByteCodeAsm ByteCodeFFI ByteCodeGen ByteCodeInstr ByteCodeItbls ByteCodeLink Debugger LibFFI Linker ObjLink RtClosureInspect I wonder whether TemplateHaskell is supported on those platforms, since that uses the interpreter, AFAIK. 2010/1/17 Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva <mar...@riseup.net>: > Hi. > > I noticed that in Debian/KFreeBSD the module ByteCodeLink is not > available, which cause the build error of haskell-hint in Debian's > buildds. > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564136 > > This is also the case of alpha, armel, hppa, mips, powerpc and s390.
