    pass -z wxneeded or -Wl,-zwxneeded for linking on OpenBSD
    
    Summary:
    This patch fixes issue with abort in GHCi on OpenBSD current
    as of Aug 12 2016. The OpenBSD is more and more strict about usage
    of writable and executable memory. Programs/applications which
    requires such functionality need to be linked with -z wxneeded linker
    flag and need to be run from the file-system mounted with wxallowed
    mount option. If either of those options in not met, then problematic
    program/application usually fail on some mmap/mprotect call which fail.
