Comment (by Ansible):

 I'm glad to see an arm binary for 7.10.2, but it hasn't worked for me - it
 fails to compile 'hello world'.

 I didn't know gold was recommended for 7.8.2.  I followed the procedure
 here for enabling it:

 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gold_linker

 "ghc --info" still reports "("ld command","/usr/bin/ld")".  I guess that's
 normal?  Is there another way to enable gold?  When I had debian jessie
 and 7.10.2, "ghc --info" reported gold as the 'ld command'.  At any rate,
 this is what I get for ld --version.


 {{{
 [bburdette at alarmpi epicmeatbars]$ ld --version
 GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.25.1) 1.11
 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

 }}}


 Unfortunately this didn't allow the link to work in my 'epic' project, but
 maybe it would if I recompiled everything.  I'll go ahead with that and
 see if it helps.
