Comment (by erikd):

 By hacking `mk/config.mk.in` I was able to compile with
 `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` set to `NO` and create a `ghc-stage2` compiler that
 dynamically links only to the C libraries. It also crashes just in a
 different way. Regardless of whether a `.ghci` file exists, `ghc-stage2
 --interactive` crashes with `Illegal instruction` as soon as it is run and
 before it even diplays a prompt:

 {{{
 $ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive
 GHCi, version 7.11.20150523: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Illegal instruction
 }}}

 Checking the settings file, I find that the `ld.gold` linker *is* being
 used.
