Comment (by simonmar):

 Works for me on Linux x86_64... somewhat surprisingly, since after
 `resolveObjs` has already failed once it seems likely that things might be
 left in a partially-linked state, and repeating `resolveObjs` might not
 work.  I think after `resolveObjs` has failed you probably shouldn't use
 the linker any more and should report the error and exit, which is what
 GHCi does.  What is the use case for retrying `resolveObjs` after it has
 failed?
