I've built GHC with gcc+propolice on OpenBSD for a year or so. Propolice
was broken at first, and is now working on x86/OpenBSD. On sparc/OpenBSD
you must disable propolice code by inserting into your mk/build.mk:
SRC_CC_OPTS+=-fno-stack-protector
SRC_HC_OPTS+=-optc-fno-stack-protector
Or use whatever the gcc flag on your system is.
It is unsurprising that propolice, at least at first, breaks GHC,
considering the stack/variable mangling it does.
Note, you won't get propolice support in your code if you compile via
the native code generator, too.
