haskell packages with separate bin outputs fail due to a reference cycle on aarch64-darwin #140774

@NixOS/darwin-maintainers please can someone look into this issue? I literally have no way of debugging this. |

Which references are causing the cycles? Is it something like an extra codesigning binary in bin which is also used from out? |
While GHC now can be bootstrapped and built on aarch64-darwin, it seems to work only to an extent. All sorts of strange issues have manifested themselves in `haskellPackages` and downstream usage which leads me to conclude that it would be misleading to call it supported on this platform, especially in a stable channel. To give a few examples, separate bin outputs just don't work in general [1] and `opt` fails for unknown reasons in some derivations [2]. As I don't own any appropriate hardware, I have tried tackling these issues by staring into my crystal ball, but so far to no avail (even worse, new issues [3] have cropped up due to changes that should have been an improvement). Given these circumstances, I'm not willing to call GHC supported on aarch64-darwin for the stable channel. I'm (for now) hopeful that we can improve the situation on `master` going forward, but it is not guaranteed that these changes will be backportable without a ton of effort. Should it turn out that we can't resolve these issues or maintain GHC's aarch64-darwin support due to a lack of contributors going forward, I am also prepared to drop aarch64-darwin support completely. While it has been proclaimed a Tier 3 platform, I would argue that the “popular” package GHC has never been working, at least not properly.

I think we should change the title of the issue to reflect the broader scope. I tried bisecting on my M1 machine earlier but build times are brutal for all the Haskell machinery. I might have to try a different approach later on. I did check if |
I can upload the failed build directory of ormolu (a failing haskell package) being built on aarch64-darwin if that helps? |
This is of limited use because it doesn't really tell you what is wrong in the installed outputs. I'd expect that the references get introduced in This nix feature would be useful right about now… |
If I do:
Those directories do have the built binaries in libs in there. Would that be of more use? i.e, would the |

@sternenseemann Indeed, you are correct. I've just checked on my x86_darwin system and there is a reference from ghcid-bin-aarch64-darwin.tar.gz Update: These symbols don't exist in the |
Maybe we can just make bin output a no-op on aarch64-darwin until it's fixed? |
I'm against this for the simple reason it eliminates any incentive to fix the bug. Separate Given Rosetta, there is a decent enough workaround for the failing builds. |
That's the incentive :) |
@balacij "Killed" in the error message suggests that the kernel killed the build process? Out of memory? By the way, for anyone that uses 🚀 |

The main change here is enabling the separate `bin` output for `ormolu`, which is currently necessary to get HLS working on `aarch64-darwin`. See: NixOS/nixpkgs#140774 (comment) Adding in the overlay to fix that entailed some surgery to `ghc.nix` and `flake.nix`, but I tried my best to make it as unintrusive as possible.

This ports our infamous patch for `Cabal` which cheesily prevents an output cycle for derivations that use separate bin outputs where references caused by the `Paths_*` module can't be eliminated by the GHC aarch64-darwin codegen backend.
