Comment (by rwbarton):

 I didn't investigate the specifics of the case in this ticket but your
 theory sounds 100% plausible. See #10761 for another example of the same
 phenomenon.

 x86_64 Linux has lazy symbol resolution by default too. I guess x86 Linux
 must differ in some detail, either in GHC or in the way dynamic linking
 works.
