Recompile with -fPIC (was "building a patched ghc")

[José Pedro Magalhães]

Hi all,

I'm getting the same error as Alexy below in some 64bit linux system. What
can I do? Adding -fPIC and also -dynamic does not seem to solve the problem.
Also, this only happens with a perf build; devel1 works fine.


Thanks,
Pedro
