Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.2.2 release candidate 1

2 Oct 2017


      BTW, I hadn't spotted that this patch was only in HEAD since the
documentation says:

.. ghc-flag:: -pie
    :shortdesc: Instruct the linker to produce a position-independent
executable.
    :type: dynamic
    :category: linking

    :since: 8.2.1

I guess it was originally slated for that release? Should say at least 8.2.2.

Hi Ben,
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13702 break projects like
sparkle and others, since they crucially rely on PIE, in this case to
dynamically load executables in the JVM. It looks like you committed a
fix for this in HEAD. Any chance you could backport this to the GHC
8.2 branch?
Thanks,

Ahh, good catch. Perhaps we should revert in this case.
I've reverted this on the ghc-8.2 branch.
