Comment (by igloo):

 Replying to [comment:25 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:

 Thanks for the info! From comments 4 and 9 it sounds to me like that is a
 different problem, and not something caused by the patch. Does anyone
 disagree?
