Interesting indeed! I am guessing that you are using the GHC-7.4.1
bindist from haskell.org.

I will try and find some time to marshal the source code and
intermediate files (am on the road --
will need to collect it from base, make it generic etc.).

You might also like to try the http://justhub.org ghc-7.4.1-hub on
your CentOS-6.1 node. It is a
separate build from the haskell.org bindist and comes with it's own
in-board gcc (4.6.1) and binutils (2.21)
used for the build. It should work for you.

(You could also try ghc-7.4.2-RC1-hub.)
