nobody takes care to fix it, and quite badly: it's like 5% of the
Debian
packages. It shouldn't be hard, it's probably a matter of taking the
Linux code and fix a couple of bits, but somebody has to do it:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ghc
howToAccessLabel: PIC not defined for this platform
A couple of months ago, I gave the ghc in experimental (7.8.20141223-1)
a try; while with the attached patch (configure was included for my own
convenience) it passed the aforementioned issue by recognizing Hurd as
ELF platform, it fails in a later stage because binaries (like ghc-pkg)
have RPATH set to build paths using $ORIGIN, which we don't support.
$ORIGIN really needs to be supported sooner or later, it is biting us
now and then...
Anyway, I'm providing the patch I had, feel free to pick it up,
I cannot work on it at the moment.
