Comment (by erikd):

 Replying to [comment:5 thomie]:

 > In the function `initSysTools` in `compiler/main/SysTools.hs`, the C
 compiler is always used as the linker:

 I can't remember where, but I did find that the linker is called directly
 somewhere or somehow. Possibly when cross-compiling? I really should have
 documented this when I found it.
