[Haskell-cafe] Using GHC option '-optl-static' causes segfault

[Nutr1t07]

It's pretty weird that program compiled with '-optl-static' runs just 
well on my server Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-48-generic 
x86_64), but failed running on my PC Archlinux (x86_64 Linux 
5.5.8-arch1-1).

Since there are static compiling problems with glibc, why is the GHC in 
stack is still built with ghlic instead of musl?
