 Building HEAD on Debian wheezy with the Debian packaging setup fails:
 {{{
 configure: Building in-tree ghc-pwd
 /usr/bin/ld: utils/ghc-pwd/dist-boot/Main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32
 against `stg_CHARLIKE_closure' can not be used when making a shared
 object; recompile with -fPIC
 utils/ghc-pwd/dist-boot/Main.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

 configure: error: Building ghc-pwd failed
 }}}
 http://deb.haskell.org/dailies/2014-04-16/ghc_7.9.20140416-0.daily_amd64.build

 This is possibly related to the Hardening flags added by Debian:
 {{{
 ~ $ dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS
 -Wl,-z,relro
 ~ $ dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS
 -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror
 =format-security
 }}}

 Other related bug might be #3668 and https://bugs.debian.org/712228

 I’ll disable the hardening flags and see if it helps. The error first
 occurred 2014-03-27.
