does the same problem happen in ghci in head?
Yes, I have just tested with the snapshot of today on i386. {{{R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF}}} is implemented for !DragonFly BSD only, while {{{R_386_TLS_IE}}} does not seem to be handled everywhere at all.
'cause i think ghci 7.7 / HEAD on those platforms should be using the system dy linker.
I am not entirely familiar with the internals of the GHCi linker, but apparently it directly loads {{{.o}}} files and that is where it relies on the routines of {{{rts/Linker.c}}}. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8564#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
