Description Alexey Kharlamov 2013-10-18 12:22:54 UTC

I am not sure If it is Gentoo bug or not, but It seems to be fixed in mainstream: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4862

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: --hash-size=31: unknown option
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: error: Building ghc-pwd failed

Everything is OK with ld.bfd

I believe ghc-7.8.3 tries to support it.
Our ebuild might still pass incompatible ldflags though.

Please test it and reopen if fails.
