It *seems* that when building GHC 6.6.1 on AMD64 Arch Linux, ghc creates a
 bunch of object files with the same symbols, as seen in this error output
 right before build failure:

 GHC/Base_split/.o::Base(void):(.data+0x0): multiple definition of
 `base_GHCziBase_zeze_closure'
 GHC/Base_split/Base__1.o:(.data+0x0): first defined here
 ...
 ...
 ...
 GHC/Base_split/Base__178.o: In function `base_GHCziBase_zeze_info':
 ghc27860_0.hc:(.text+0x18): multiple definition of
 `base_GHCziBase_zeze_info'
 GHC/Base_split/Base__1.o:ghc27860_0.hc:(.text+0x18): first defined here
