Source: ghc Version: 8.6.5+dfsg1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap Hello! Trying to cross-build ghc currently fails with: GHC build : x86_64-unknown-linux GHC host : powerpc-unknown-linux GHC target : powerpc-unknown-linux LLVM target: powerpc-unknown-linux checking for path to top of build tree... /<<PKGBUILDDIR>> checking for powerpc-linux-gnu-windres... no checking for powerpc-linux-gnu-dllwrap... no checking for powerpc-linux-gnu-objdump... powerpc-linux-gnu-objdump configure: error: You've selected: BUILD: x86_64-unknown-linux (the architecture we're building on) HOST: powerpc-unknown-linux (the architecture the compiler we're building will execute on) TARGET: powerpc-unknown-linux (the architecture the compiler we're building will produce code for) BUILD must equal HOST; that is, we do not support building GHC itself with a cross-compiler. To cross-compile GHC itself, set TARGET: stage 1 will be a cross-compiler, and stage 2 will be the cross-compiled GHC. This can be reproduced when building ghc with: sbuild -d sid --host=powerpc --profile=cross --no-arch-all I was able to fix this problem with the following trivial change: --- debian/rules~ 2019-07-28 18:31:28.000000000 +0200 +++ debian/rules 2019-07-29 01:39:31.863510243 +0200 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ export DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) export DEB_HOST_ARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH) -EXTRA_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --target $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) +EXTRA_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --host $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --build $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --target $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) # We're cross-building if DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE != DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE ifneq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE), $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)) EXTRA_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += --enable-unregisterised Would be great if something like that could be done for the next upload, so it's easier to cross-bootstrap ghc again for powerpc and sh4.
