Anyone else failing to validate on 'linker_unload'?

[Austin Seipp]

I have also not seen this test fail on amd64/Linux since Simon
committed it. From the valgrind output, it looks like your machine is
32bit, correct Ryan? Edward told me yesterday on IRC he saw this fail
on 64bit Linux, so I'm a little confused.

Can you please try this?

$ cd testsuite/tests/rts
$ make TEST="linker_unload" EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-debug"
$ valgrind ./linker_unload

This will link you with a debug copy of the RTS, so Valgrind/GDB can
relate errors back to the relevant source code. Perhaps this will help
shed light on your problem.
