Comment:

 I proposed something similar as part of the dynamic linker redesign
 (#11238).

 My idea in that ticket was to use the system runtime linker on
 architectures where we do not have RTS linker support (e.g. powerpc64[le])
 even in a statically linked GHCi.

 The ticket mentioned above has more information and a link to a Wiki page
 with the design proposal (in progress).
