Hi, I'm building gtk2hs on a mac with -fsplit-objs, and during compilation of the largest file, which produces about 7000 split objects, the linking phase fails. I'm assuming that's because the command line length has been exceeded, because other files compile fine, without -fsplit-objs it compiles fine too, and it compiles fine *with* -fsplit-objs on other OS - so perhaps the reason is in mac's tempfile name generation (they're longer than on other platforms) or something.
Anyway. I think a nice fix would be to employ gcc's ability to read options from a file - gcc @file - and write overly long option strings into temp files. It'd be fun for me to implement this as my first contribution to ghc; is this a good idea in general? -- Eugene Kirpichov Principal Engineer, Mirantis Inc. http://www.mirantis.com/ Editor, http://fprog.ru/
