 emily | I guess it basically just adds it to the path and doesn't even add -fllvm itself? | 11:51:44 |
|  Ember changed their display name from Ember Void to Ember. | 15:21:36 |
 Alex | Yes, to build the boot libraries and the stage2 compiler.
(This has been said before, but it would be really nice to find a way to split stage1 and stage2 into separate derivations.) | 17:00:27 |

 eveeifyeve | A good question, has anyone seen if https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/78ad81ecef846f73fee0f6c1a86cd6f19aa29b21.patch was backported to GHC 9.8? Because I only see 9.6.x and 9.10.x have it. | 14:00:26 |

 chreekat | i can see on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/13337 that it was given the 'backport_needed:9.8' label, but that didn't come to pass | 07:33:10 |

 Janus | how does it make sense to label 9.8 as 'suitable for use' if it has known bugs that are fixed in both older and newer major series ? | 00:52:59 |

|  Arian joined the room. | 12:21:33 |
| Arian | Why is enableSeparateBinOutput false by default for Haskell packages?
A lot of Haskell libraries ship example binaries and they're all shipped by default and statically linked which makes them huge | 12:21:38 |
|  Daniel joined the room. | 13:14:58 |
 maralorn | I think because in some cases it can lead to cyclic dependencies and thus build failures. Also it would be a breaking change which could lead to deployed services failing in production. | 14:53:06 |
| maralorn | But I agree that it would be the better default. | 14:53:29 |
| Arian | Only leads to outages for people who write bad code and don't use lib.getExe | 20:15:12 |
