Mario Rodas	639c8c1f6a	ghc: use ld.gold only on Linux ... partly reverts commit 29f2f04ded.	2019-08-07 22:05:26 -05:00
Alp Mestanogullari	29f2f04ded	ghc: always use ld.gold ... gold is known to speed up GHC builds considerably, saving up to many seconds when linking large Haskell applications, so this patch configures all non-binary GHC derivations to use gold.	2019-08-05 07:50:26 +02:00
Peter Simons	895fb1629d	Merge pull request #64371 from mpickering/strip-ghc ... ghc: Don't strip compilers	2019-07-06 12:54:31 +02:00
Matthew Pickering	b1e3d0737a	ghc: Don't strip compilers ... To test this I built a version of the compiler with `dontStrip = True` and the vanilla version. The size of the result is both 1.4gb which indicates that the stripping doesn't do anything meaningful. Not stripping means that the debug rts is properly packages as it contains DWARF information and unused debugging symbols. Fixes #63511	2019-07-06 10:02:03 +01:00

Matthew Bauer	8a52658918	ghc: use ncg for cross buildsystem ... We can use ncg for all x86 builds. Fixes #61262	2019-05-12 00:22:01 -04:00
