Package: ghc
Version: 8.0.1-17
Severity: important
The ghc package needs tighter dependencies against gcc and gcc-5 :
When I'm using old versions of gcc, I get the following error message when
ghc tries to do the link phase:
Linking test ...
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-no-pie’
`gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1)
(in all 3 cases, gcc-4 package is installed and all dependencies satisfied)
With gcc at 4.9.2-4 and gcc-5 at 5.3.1-15, I get the error
With gcc at 5-0 and gcc-5 at 5.2.1-23, I get the error
With gcc at 5-0 and gcc-5 at 5.3.1-15, it succeeds in building the
executable

I guess it is better to patch older gccs to understand such flag and give
no-op in this case.
There is no point in:
1) fixing the whole archive for a gcc-specific change
2) using ghc with older, unsupported compilers.
Please upgrade them, or open bugs against them to have no-op patches in case of
-no-pie.
thanks!
(feel free to reopen in case you don't agree, of course)
