Subject: Fixing link failure of compiler on ia64 ('-Wl,' prefixed value passed directly to ld)
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=615d88d1912a81ca3bef44010285424f6c454449

Fixing link failure of compiler on ia64 ('-Wl,' prefixed value passed directly to ld)

    /usr/bin/ld -Wl,--relax -r -o dist-stage1/build/HSghc-6.10.4.o \
                                  dist-stage1/build/BasicTypes.o dist-stage1/build/DataCon.o ...
    /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,--relax'

If we just drop '-Wl,' part it will not help as '-r' and '--relax' are incompatible.

Looks like '-Wl,--relax' was skipped by earlier binutils' ld as unknown option.
Removing ia64 specific path.
