 I followed “First steps” section in
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers Newcomers guide] to build
 GHC from sources (got via git-clone) on Ubuntu 14.04 (amd64). During the
 last step (make) it comes to the error:


 {{{
 /usr/bin/ld: libraries/dph/dph-lifted-copy/dist-
 install/build/Data/Array/Parallel/Prelude/Bool.dyn_o: relocation
 R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol
 `dphzmliftedzmcopyzm0zi8zi0zi1_DataziArrayziParallelziPreludeziBool_andPzuv_closure'
 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
 /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
 }}}

 The only substantial change I did to the manual is setting BuildFlavour =
 quickest instead of BuildFlavour = quick.

 I tried to just the same under Lubuntu 13.04 (i386) and got just the same
 type of error on relocation (now for R_386_GOTOFF symbol) in the same
 module (Data.Array.Parallel).

 Other related bug might be #9007.
