 Replying to [comment:26 ezyang]:

 build should be cleaned and tried again?

 I am pretty sure I was testing with a fresh build from the buildsystem.

 I thought HSbase.o is only used by ghci?
 Is it also used by other parts?

 (I tried also dynamic linking with unpatched ghc-7.6.3
 and it also leads to executable stack.)
