Building our haskell-opencv library with GHC-8.0.1 used to succeed.
However, after switching to nixos-16.09 the build started failing:

git clone https://github.com/LumiGuide/haskell-opencv.git
cd haskell-opencv
nix-build -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-16.09.tar.gz
...
[33 of 64] Compiling OpenCV.Internal.Core.Types.Mat ( src/OpenCV/Internal/Core/Types/Mat.hs, dist/build/OpenCV/Internal/Core/Types/Mat.o )
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.0.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
    Loading temp shared object failed: /tmp/nix-build-opencv-0.0.0.drv-0/ghc8717_0/libghc_253.so: undefined symbol: inline_c_OpenCV_Internal_Exception_1_2402dbf3aea4f7f79392b71ed42618962a22e9aa

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

The same error occurs with nixpkgs master c542e6d.

I know the build succeeds with nixpkgs 55120ac. So it's caused by some commit in the 55120ac...master range.

(This might be related to: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12152 or https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11499).

@peti any idea what's going on?

Note that the working 55120ac has ld-2.26.20160125 while the failing release-16.09 and master have ld-2.27. Not sure if that's causing the build failure.

Hmm, this doesn't look good. I don't know what's causing this issue, I'm afraid.

I'll have a look at this later today, could be caused by hardening.

@basvandijk, could you try on ba50fd7 (everything will be in cache: http://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1288646)

Fails = it has nothing to do with hardening/binutils upgrade and is more likely do to glibc upgrade

@obadz if it's not hardening, I'd suspect the binutils upgrade

Yes, another interesting commits to test would be: e0deed0 post ghc relocation patch, pre binutils. I expect that will require some amount of building…

nix-building with e0deed0 right now...

(I suspect ba50fd7 will be a lot faster so might be worth trying first)

Alright, checking ba50fd7 first...

I'm getting the following weird error with ba50fd7:

So it's not binutils, but the different errors from prior commits are making it hard to pin down a commit…

Also reported this on the GHC bug tracker.

@obadz you said e0deed0 was post the ghc relocation patch. Can you name a revision I can try which is just before the ghc relocation patch?

And what's this ghc relocation patch anyway?

@basvandijk

At the Haskell eXchange somebody mentioned that this error could be due to the hardening changes.

How can I disable these features for the C/C++ compiler that GHC is using?

OK hardening seems to cause the problem because if I extend the derivation arguments with:

{ } // (if lib.hasPrefix "16.09" lib.nixpkgsVersion
        then { hardeningDisable = [ "bindnow" ]; }
        else {})

the package builds successfully using nix-build!

Now I just need to figure out how to get it building in a nix-shell. Any ideas how to disable the bindnow hardening flag inside a nix-shell?

This should do the trick:

export hardeningDisable=bindnow

(And you should be able to add hardeningDIsable = [ "bindnow" ]; to the build unconditionally)

I've extended cabal2nix to add the necessary flags in the generated output automatically.

@globin thanks for the tip! With the following change haskell-opencv is building successfully on nixos-16.09 with both nix-build and in nix-shell. Note that the condition is needed because otherwise I get the following error:

error: anonymous function at 
/nix/store/...-nixpkgs-9edd431/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/generic-builder.nix:5:1 
called with unexpected argument ‘hardeningDisable’

@peti thanks!

@peti other people seem to get related errors. Do you think it makes sense to disable bindnow for all haskell packages?

@basvandijk, do we have bindnow-related errors in packages other than opencv? I think it makes sense to disable the feature if it's incompatible with the Haskell linking system per-se, but I don't know whether that's really the case. Are you aware of other packages having this issue?

@peti other than the error I referenced (which I'm not sure is even caused by bindnow) I don't know of any other packages that fail. So yes, maybe it's better to leave it enabled as it is now and fix packages on a case by case basis.
