| 2024-08-31 | gnu: ghc: Fix build with binutils ≥ 2.39....ld warns about exec stack now, making some tests fail. Fix them (and also
remove an unwarranted exec stack from libHSrts along with it).
* gnu/packages/patches/ghc-9-StgCRunAsm-only-when-needed.patch
* gnu/packages/patches/ghc-testsuite-recomp015-execstack.patch: New patches.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register them.
* gnu/packages/haskell.scm (ghc-8.6, ghc-8.8, ghc-8.10, ghc-9.0, ghc-9.2,
ghc-9.4): Use them.

| 2024-06-29 | gnu: ghc-9.2: Make Cabal respect GHC_PACKAGE_PATH...**tl;dr** Applying this patch makes Cabal work in Guix environments
and ensures that Cabal picks up Haskell packages installed via Guix.
Guix makes heavy use of GHC_PACKAGE_PATH to make GHC pickup Haskell
packages installed via the Guix package manager. The environment
variable is set using native-search-paths from the GHC packages.
Unfortunately, upstream Cabal does presently not respect
GHC_PACKAGE_PATH. If this environment variable is set, `cabal build`
and other commands will terminate. For building packages, Guix does
not make much use of cabal-install hence this is not as big of an
issue. However, cabal-install does therefore presently not work
out-of-the-box in environments created by Guix. For example,
in `guix shell` environments. This makes it essentially impossible
to use Guix for setting up development environments for Haskell software.
Cabal upstream is aware of this issue and a patch exists to workaround
this problem. The patch is currently not merged upstream due to issues
related to reconfiguration (changing GHC_PACKAGE_PATH between `cabal
configure` and `cabal build`). However, I would argue that this edge
case is not that relevant for Guix and therefore propose including
this patch with the Cabal Guix package. As outlined above, cabal-install
is not usable by default presently, and I would therefore argue that
this is a major improvement over the current situation. I am willing to
work with Cabal upstream to have this issue fixed upstream eventually.
Note that this requires patching the GHC package instead of the
cabal-install package as Guix uses the version of the Cabal package
<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal> distributed with GHC.
See: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3728
* gnu/packages/haskell-apps.scm (cabal-install): Include patch
to support the GHC_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable.
