 I built ghc-7.8.1 RC2 on ppc Fedora 21 Development with ghc-7.6.3.

 When I try to run dynamically linked "helloworld", it segfaults.
 I don't have direct access yet to a ppc box to investigate further.
 I guess something about the use of shared libraries on ppc is not
 working properly.

 {{{
 $ cat > hello.hs
 main = putStrLn "hi"
 $ ghc -dynamic hello.hs
 $ ./hello
 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./hello
 }}}
