Thanks for the advice;  However, it had little effect.

I now have the errors:

Anyone else building GHC on a pi?

I believe I had the same problem, which disappeared after upgrading llvm from

Hope this helps,

Thanks, using LLVM 3.1 seems to have improved the siutation, but I'm running 
into a new error.

Here is the error I get when trying to build GHC 7.6.1 from 7.4.1

I get similar errors when building GHC 7.4.1 (patched with 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/5914/0001-add-support-for-ARM-hard-float-ABI-fixes-5914.patch).

Any of you encountered this problem before?


Yeah, I had a lot of these. The problem was that GHC has a lot of different 
"CFLAGS",
so finding the right way to pass "-float-abi=hard" to every one of them took 
some time, but
eventually I ended up with the following change to mk/build.mk:

ifeq "$(BuildFlavour)" "quick"

SRC_HC_OPTS        = -H64m -O0 -fasm
GhcStage1HcOpts    = -O -fasm
GhcStage2HcOpts    = -O0 -fasm
GhcLibHcOpts       = -O -fasm -optlc-float-abi=hard
SplitObjs          = NO
HADDOCK_DOCS       = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_HTML = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PS   = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PDF  = NO

endif

(Change the build flavor you are using, of course)

And I ran configure as:

LDFLAGS="-marm -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp" CFLAGS="-marm -mfloat-abi=hard 
-mfpu=vfp" ./configure --with-opt=/usr/bin/opt-3.1 --with-llc=/usr/bin/llc-3.1 
--with-ld=`which ld.gold`

(I switched to the gold linker, because ld was running out of RAM often.)

I did eventually finish building stage2, but the final executable segfaulted on 
start.
I haven't investigated much why that happened, the days it takes to rebuild it 
just
made me give up.

Hope this helps,
Thijs
