pho 534e7dc7ce Suppress linker warnings about compatibility syscall wrappers by using "capi" instead of "ccall"
In Haskell FFI, "ccall" is actually an interface to C ABI rather than
C API. That is, GHC generates direct references to the symbol even if
it's actually defined as a cpp macro or something like that, because
GHC knows nothing about those macros in foreign headers.

I will later send these patches to the upstream.

Suppress linker warnings about compatibility syscall wrappers by using
"capi" instead of "ccall". In Haskell FFI, "ccall" is actually an
interface to C ABI rather than C API. That is, GHC generates direct
references to the symbol even if it's actually defined as a cpp macro
or something like that, because GHC knows nothing about those macros
in foreign headers. Hence the following warnings:
.../libHSunix-2.6.0.1.a(Signals.o): In function `s4SG_info':
(.text+0x3a3e): warning: warning: reference to compatibility
sigsuspend(); include <signal.h> for correct reference
.../libHSunix-2.6.0.1.a(Signals.o): In function `s5uV_info':
(.text+0x6adb): warning: warning: reference to compatibility
sigpending(); include <signal.h> for correct reference
In other words, you can safely use "ccall" only when you are sure the
symbol you want to import is actually a symbol in the ABI sense, which
is not always the case for the POSIX API.
