Comment (by GordonBGood):

 Replying to [comment:36 Fanael]:
 > Precisely *nothing* changed in the code generated by GHC and the
 binutils bug is still open, so the idea that GHC HEAD doesn't have this
 bug is [REDACTED].

 Thanks, Fanael, I tried binutils version 2.26.2 to the mix of GHC version
 8.0.1 and LLVM 3.7 and there is still no resolution.
