Possibly we only need to use RTLD_LOCAL when building the ghci linker statically? Then we could revert the other changes like #10322 and #10110 and #10058. What does it mean "building the ghci linker statically"?
I mean when compiling the RTS (specifically Linker.c) for eventual inclusion into a static library rather than a dynamic library. I thought that we already used some mechanism to check for this somewhere in the RTS, but now I can't find it so maybe I imagined it. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10458#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
