Re: "... causes overflow in R_X86_... relocation"

Relocation is part of the linking process. Specifically, external function calls must be given a real run-time address instead of some placeholder.

R_X86_64_32 is a particular type of relocation, where the relocation address is a 32-bit field.

I understand now.

I believe this might be caused by Qtah being built without -fPIC.

This is managed by Cabal. I see no easy way to rebuild it with -fPIC. Cloning the sources from Gitlab and doing the full build would probably be overkill. I've mailed Bryan Gardiner, the author of Qtah with a brief description of what is wrong. I'll do a full bug report, when requested. Maybe I'll switch to WxHaskell. Cheers, Volker
