Comment (by erikd):

 With the above two patches, over 100 of the tests in the testsuie fail
 (mostly the TH related tests).

 Dropping those patches and configuring GHC as suggested by @hvr:
 {{{
 ./configure \
     CONF_CC_OPTS_STAGE2=-fno-PIE \
     CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie \
     CONF_LD_LINKER_OPTS_STAGE2=-no-pie
 }}}
 results in a GHC that passes all tests.
