Yeah I can reproduce it reliably. I tried a few `git clean -xfd`s, and tried with no build.mk and with a debug build.mk, it happened with all configurations, when building the same file (the hsc2hs executable). The repro is simple: clone the GHC repo, build at 6f7115dfd4. If this doesn't reproduce the bug then I don't know what else to try.
so perhaps you also have a corrupt ELF file somewhere
How do I check this? Maybe gold.ld produces a corrupt ELF file during the build,
and then tries to read it to link an executable.

Can you reproduce this reliably?
Googling the error message "internal error in find_view" yields:
https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-binutils@gnu.org/msg28716.html
where somebody encountered it, but only in proprietary code. It would probably be very useful if we could provide a repro of it in an open-source code base like GHC.
By the way, the attachment there is called "Corrupt elf file which causes linker to crash", so perhaps you also have a corrupt ELF file somewhere?
