Bug#844598: [haskell-stack] relocations errors on compiling

[frederic wagner]

hi,

ghc is working for me ; only stack is causing troubles.

i tried the latest upstream stack version with the same problem.

luckily someone pointed me to this thread : 
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2712

using this hint made everything work :

"""

It builds in my case
Just adapt the ghc version which has the error (ghc-8.0.01 above or 
ghc-7.10 in my case:
~/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-7.10.3/lib/ghc-7.10.3/settings )

cp settings settings.bak

And change the options as @senorhesles <https://github.com/senorhesles> 
mentionned previously:
("C compiler flags", "-fno-PIE -fno-stack-protector"),
("C compiler link flags", "-no-pie"),
("ld flags", "-no-pie"),

It builds, yes, but I wonder the effects of adding such options 
(-no-pie) in long term use.
Ok for the hack but how long should we maintain it (mv settings.bak 
settings) ?

"""

i'm not too sure about upgrading to unstable.

thanks for the suggestion though

Fred
