Perhaps some library HSbase is using has an executable stack? Maybe the build should be cleaned and tried again?

I am pretty sure I was testing with a fresh build from the buildsystem. I thought HSbase.o is only used by ghci? Is it also used by other parts? (I tried also dynamic linking with unpatched ghc-7.6.3 and it also leads to executable stack.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/703#comment:28 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
