This is probably a well-known problem, but here goes anyway...
In using the binary distribution of ghc (version 4.04, patchlevel 0)
for the HP (HP-UX B.10.20), I get a warning during final link of
/usr/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one of the files
(/ghc/lib/ghc-4.04/libHS_cbits.a(freeFile.o)) contains an
R_CODE_PLABEL fixup request which may not be supported in
future releases.
> gcc -v
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
> what /usr/bin/ld
92453-07 linker linker ld B.10.33 990520
The following hack forces the warnings to be silent.
