This might be relevant: I don't know.
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14612

Further useful information. The problem doesn't manifest itself when
compiling GHC 6.6, so the question is what parts of the runtime system
changed in the meantime. The changes to rts/Linker.c are just
refactorings and addition of 64-bit support. The only other place I can
see where those things are mentioned is in rts/PrimOps.cmm.

In the meantime, I'll try using a later GCC and see if that helps
(assuming I can compile it!).
