Comment (by mitchty):

 ld.gold, ld.bfd is affected by this:
 configure: error: Your linker is affected by binutils #16177, which
                critically breaks linkage of GHC objects. Please either
 upgrade
                binutils or supply a different linker with the LD
 environment
                variable.

 Even when I tried patching it with the binutils patches that configure
 error got tripped up. Should I retry with patched binutils and ld.bfd?
