 Replying to [comment:32 ezyang]:
 > igloo: If the patch is already implemented and does not cause any
 trouble for anybody, I think we should take it. It is not that complicated
 either.
 Indeed it would be nice if this can be fixed in the GHCi linker, too. I
 rebased the patches.

 They validate on Linux. I also tried to validate on Windows but haven't
 managed to do it, due to some other issues (probably I haven't set up my
 environment correctly).

 (I accidentally attached an unrelated patch {{{0001-Test-for-
 Trac-8242.patch}}}, but I don't know how I can delete it. Sorry for the
 noise)
