Comment:

 I've encountered this error while building ghc; let me know if it would be
 more appropriate to create a new ticket.

 When building ghc, booting with ghc-8.2.1, with the following build.mk:
 {{{
 BuildFlavour = prof

 ifneq "$(BuildFlavour)" ""
 include mk/flavours/$(BuildFlavour).mk
 endif
 GhcStage2HcOpts    += -fprof-auto -fno-prof-count-entries
 }}}
 I get the following error while linking libHSghc-8.3.p_a:
