Re: 177 unexpected test failures on a new system -- is this yet another linker issue?

      Ah, sorry, that line was truncated. I posted the output here:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/osa1/ea72655b8369099e84a67e0949adca7e/raw...

That line should be

+ghc-iserv.bin: internal loadArchive: GNU-variant filename offset not
found while reading filename from
`/home/omer/haskell/ghc/libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/libHSghc-prim-0.5.0.0.a'
+    (GHC version 8.1.20161107 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
+    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

I'm trying to validate on a new system (not sure if related, but it has
gcc
6.2.1 and ld 2.27.0), and I'm having 177 unexpected failures, most (maybe
even
all) of them are similar to this one:
=====> T5976(ext-interp) 1 of 1 [0, 0, 0]
    cd "./th/T5976.run" &&  "/home/omer/haskell/ghc/inplace/test
spaces/ghc-stage2" -c T5976.hs -dcore-dno-debug-output -XTemplateHaskell
-package template-haskell -fexternal-interpreter -v0
    Actual stderr output differs from expected:
    --- ./th/T5976.run/T5976.stderr.normalised      2016-11-10

Did this line get truncated? It might help to have the rest of it.
