Description raylu 2010-06-12 19:12:15 UTC 
I'm on an Ubuntu 10.04/lucid x64 system running version 2.6.32 of the kernel and
xmonad fails to link. With the binutils-gold package installed, xmonad
terminates at startup with "illegal hardware instruction."

I'm using xmonad 0.9.1 and ghc 6.12.1.
binutils 2.20.1 with GNU ld links it fine, gold 2.20.1 does not.

There have been many many bug fixes in gold since the binutils 2.20.1 release.  
Would it be possible for you to try it with the current development version of 
gold?

Yes, but it'll be a while before I get around to it.
Comment 3 raylu 2010-08-09 21:20:06 UTC 
OK. It works now. I'm not that familiar with CVS, but I checked it out on
8/9/2010, so I think I'm on 1.84 or something...

Anyway, sorry for the trouble.
