 Replying to [comment:7 bgamari]:

 I rebuilt GHC 8.2.1 today with ld override disabled, tested again and it's
 gone.\\
 So I guess this is also caused by the linker problem.

 Without `--disable-ld-override`, I actually got the following error during
 the compiling phase:

 {{{
   HC [stage 1] compiler/stage2/build/SysTools/Terminal.p_o
   HC [stage 1] iserv/stage2_p/build/GHCi/Utils.p_o

 gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
 gmake: *** [Makefile:127: all] Error 2
 }}}

 Also, in rts/dist/build, `ffi.h` and `ffitarget.h` were reported missing
 during `make binary-dist`.\\
 I'm not sure if these headers are needed, the ones in /usr/local/include
 (installed by libffi) are identical to what were packed in the official
 tarball.\\
 (Did I miss some steps in the building process?)

 I've tried 3 different ways to bootstrap the build:

 * GHC 7.10.2 from ports
 * GHC 8.0.2 official binary distribution
 * GHC 8.2.1 itself

 It seemed that using 8.0.2 I could get the best test result.
