How Cabal can be configured to use target-prefixed readelf executable

When I do cabal build second time I get:

readelf: readProcessWithExitCode: runInteractiveProcess: exec: does not exist (No such file or directory)

From strace I confirmed that it looks for readelf executable which on my system have target prefix and look like x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-readelf.

Is there any way to configure Cabal and/or GHC to look for specific location of readelf?

Solution

  • There is no such way at the moment. But with https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10974 we'll get -pgmreadelf.
