Hi devs,

I have made a patch to refactor the RTS linker, especially to drastically reduce its memory usage: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1470

We need to test it on differrent OS/architectures before it can be merged. Here is the current state: - Linux/x86-64: OK (Harbormaster and I) - Solaris/x86-64: was OK, maybe needs to be retested (@kgardas) - OpenBSD/x86-64: was OK, maybe needs to be tetested (@kgardas) - Solaris/i386: was failing with unrelated error, needs to be retested (@kgardas) - Linux/PowerPC: OK (@erikd) - Linux/ARM: was failing with unrelated #11123 (@erikd), OK? (@bgamari)

Unfortunately my ARM box crashed hard during the build for unrelated reasons (I believe). I'll give it another shot.
