Comment:

 Thanks for the report `crockeea` and the reproducer `RyanGlScott`.

 If you require, you can work around this by making a file

 {{{
 PROVIDE(__chkstk_ms = ___chkstk_ms);
 }}}

 called `workaround.ldscript` and tell GHC `-optl"workaround.ldscript"` or
 add that as `ghc-options` in your cabal file.
