Comment (by ohho):

 Replying to [comment:1 bgamari]:
 > I believe this is actually a
 [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221111|FreeBSD
 issue]]. Can you confirm that the fix proposed on that ticket resolves the
 issue?

 Yes, it was due to the package was built unpatched.\\
 I reinstalled gcc5 from the ports collection, it did solve the problem.

 However, the
 [https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/6oz5q3/announce_ghc_821_available/dkoy3m3/
 ld.gold error] I posted on reddit remained the same.

 Check this out:
