Description

I am trying to build with ghc-10.0.1-alpha1 (recently published)

$ cabal install persistent-sqlite-2.13.3.1  -w /opt/ghc/ghc-10.0.0.20260917/bin/ghc --allow-newer --constraint hashable==1.5.0.0

<no location info>: error:
    `cc' failed in phase `C Compiler'. (Exit code: 1)

with gcc-16.2.1 (comes with current Fedora 44)

Compilation is fine with ghc-9.14.1 and ghc-9.14.1.20260916. So perhaps it is a ghc problem.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported cabal install command for persistent-sqlite-2.13.3.1 with ghc-10.0.1-alpha1 and gcc-16.2.1. Read Database/Sqlite/Internal.hs and Database/Sqlite.hs, then inspect the referenced GHC Rts.h and Stg.h headers to determine whether the failure belongs to persistent or GHC. Done means identifying the responsible component and documenting a reproducible resolution path.
