#13356 new bug

gmp/ghc.mk's use of TARGETPLATFORM and BUILDPLATFORM is wrong

Description

libraries/integer-gmp/gmp/ghc.mk invokes libgmp's configure script with the options 

--host=$(TARGETPLATFORM) --build=$(BUILDPLATFORM)

Using TARGETPLATFORM is wrong, as it is the GHC-munged target triple. For example if the triple passed to the top-level configure script was --target=aarch64-apple-darwin14 (for iPhone), TARGETPLATFORM will be aarch64-apple-ios, which configure does not understand.

Instead of TARGETPLATFORM we should use TargetPlatformFull. I don't think we have a corresponding variable for BUILDPLATFORM, so we should add one if it's important.

Interesting, I wasn't aware those variables don't correspond to what Autoconf handles when landing the related change (​https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1960)

Somewhat related: looking for TargetPlatformAll in the GHC tree, I noticed 

rules/build-package-data.mk:$1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --configure-option=--host=$(TargetPlatformFull)

which seems a bit odd.

Component: Build System → Build System (make)

The new Hadrian build system has been merged. Relabeling the tickets concerning the legacy make build system to prevent confusion.
