Comment (by erikd):

 Replying to [comment:29 mfox]:
 > @erikd Another thing is I installed a new binutils and ld.gold that
 comes with it. Maybe you need it.

 What versions are you using? I'm on Debian Testing and have
 {{{
 ii  binutils    2.26-3    arm64   GNU assembler, linker and binary
 utilities
 }}}

 {{{
 $ ld.gold --version
 GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.26) 1.11
 }}}

 In addition, the llvm version I'm using with ghc (also from Debian):

 {{{
 ii  libllvm3.5v5:arm64   1:3.5.2-3    arm64
 ii  llvm-3.5             1:3.5.2-3    arm64
 ii  llvm-3.5-dev         1:3.5.2-3    arm64
 ii  llvm-3.5-runtime     1:3.5.2-3    arm64
 }}}

 Also I think discussion about Arm64 does not really belong in this ticket
 which started out being about 32 bit Arm.
