Created attachment 396528 [details] Build log GHC fails to build in prefix on Fedora 21 machine. Problem with configuration of ar utility, which is set after running configure script to /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar, which is wrong.

Does it fail the same way on ghc-7.10.2? Just wodering: do you know why fedora's AR does not work?
(In reply to Sergei Trofimovich from comment #1) > Does it fail the same way on ghc-7.10.2? Yes. > Just wodering: do you know why fedora's AR does not work? Fedora's AR is at /usr/bin/ar, not /usr/bin/${CHOST}-ar
