You can pass -fPIE to gcc by using the -optc-fPIE flag.
Thanks Ian. There's much I don't fully understand about ghc, but I read somewhere that the -optc-* options would only be applied when building via intermediate C files, which isn't happening in the compilation process specified above. Is this incorrect, or have I misunderstood something?
Ah, sorry, I assumed that you were doing an unreg build. If I were you I'd probably start off by trying to do an unreg cross-compile with HEAD. However, the unreg build is currently broken in HEAD (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7792), but I'm hoping to have a fix soon. Thanks Ian
