I noticed that there were a couple of aarch64-related commits on Apr 20/21:
https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/0bbc2ac6dae9ce2838f23a75a6a989826c06f3f5 https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/1e8c9b81a819da8eb54405a029fc33a9f5220321 I wondered what would happen if I applied them on top of Debian's 7.8.4-3. I was able to apply the second patch, modifying mk/config.mk.in, with a small offset. I wasn't able to apply the first patch, modifying aclocal.m4, so I thought, sod it, it's just a big set of macros, I'll just copy the aclocal.m4 from the commit into the build tree. So in effect I modified these two files: d9d4bef616d3e7dde976227c80baa9a4 aclocal.m4 9292ce20044d931dc0cb7d3447dc1511 mk/config.mk.in I wasn't really expecting anything good to come out of such a simple-minded change, but in fact the patched 7.8.4-3 successfully built an arm64 deb, which includes a ghci, which appears to work, at least to the extent of evaluating some simple expressions on the command line. (And the unpatched 7.8.4-3 failed for me as it did on the buildd, so it's not just that my environment is different.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
