Here's a simplified patch based on the following two commits:

https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/0bbc2ac6dae9ce2838f23a75a6a989826c06f3f5
https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commit/1e8c9b81a819da8eb54405a029fc33a9f5220321

Guessing from the dates in those commits (Apr 2015) a patch similar to
this may still be required for 7.10.1, but perhaps not for any release
after Apr 2015.

The patch seems to work on arm64, applied on top of Debian's 7.8.4-3.
Let's hope it doesn't break any other architecture. If it did break
armel or armhf I'd try removing the "arm*linux*" pattern from FIND_LD.
