Tuncer: The LD_PRELOAD trick and the patchelf magic solved the problem
nicely..
I'd still prefer if a SuSE binary distro was available from the downloads
page, for the good of the community. When I tried to build from source, I
was getting all sorts of error messages even from the configure step; so I
gave up fairly quickly. If it was a machine I had root access to then I'd
have given it more time; but with only user-level access, I didn't pursue
anything further.

What exactly failed? Have you tried using a same-distro-version SuSE chroot/container, where you install the SuSE-packaged GHC, for building 7.10.2? This is of course assuming that the autoconf check works.
