Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.2.2 release candidate 1

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.

Good catch, thanks for noticing this. I originally had intended this for 8.2.1 but it took longer to get the patch into shape than I anticipated so I deferred it. It looks like I forgot to update the documentation when I merged. I'll fix this right now. Cheers, - Ben
