Quoting @erikd in https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2303#67070:
I'm pretty sure that will be handled by the Linux distros. They
wouldn't ship an GNU `as` until their `glibc` handled these new relocations.
We have our first victim of this assumption:
https://github.com/snowleopard/hadrian/issues/259#issuecomment-224618414. This is the victim speaking. I experienced this problem on a Debian testing. So I think that the assumption of @erikd remains valid as long as we consider only stable Linux distributions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12147#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
