Comment (by guest):

 I tried applying ChrisKuklewicz's patch to a fresh ghc 6.8.1 source tree
 (from http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/ghc-6.8.1-src.tar.bz2) along with
 the extra libs, and the linker segfaults every time it tries to link one
 of the certain extra libs. So far, parsec, X11, and OpenGL cause it to
 die:
