Comment (by mistydemeo):

 I reported #12198, which happened when the ghc being used to build

 As far as I'm aware, `-split-sections` is off by default, and the Homebrew
 buildscript doesn't explicitly enable it: https://github.com/Homebrew
 /homebrew-
 core/blob/df621e49f7006c9aa7ed7d1f570c955447f160a8/Formula/ghc.rb

 I don't believe stack is building with it either.
