It's probably due to
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/abb86adf7f749b3d44887d28bc96b43c5a1e0631ab...
which was merged post RC2. I base this on the fact your build is failing during the dynamic build. Do try a reverse patch and see if it helps.
Yes, that fixed the build with the standard bfd linker (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6722847). It seems to pass the dyn helloworld test at least. I believe Karel is right - you just need to use Gold. Ben actually had
patches to make the build fail if using binutils ld was detected, but I believe I had reservations about the patch which I cannot recall off the top of my head. In any case, a fix like that can certainly go in 7.8.2.
If it doesn't then I think I can "bootstrap" to 7.8 with ld.bfd and then rebuild with ld.gold so hopefully it should work out anyway. Thanks, Jens
