 When using gold linker in the project, the compilation fails.
 The same error occurs even when using nix, without stack.

 The bug can be reproduced very easily.

 You can clone from here (https://github.com/ksaric/bronze-linker) and
 `stack build`.

 Or you can:
 - `stack new project`
 - `cd project`
 - `stack build`

 Now it builds.

 - then add gold flags to cabal like here - https://github.com/ksaric
 /bronze-linker/blob/master/bronze-linker.cabal#L22-L25
 - `stack build`

 Now it fails.
