Comment (by simonmar):
GHCi does require 'data execution' privileges, because it generates code
on the fly. However, it may be possible to work around this (we have
worked around it to some extent for SELinux). Note that this isn't just
GHCi, but also any compiled Haskell program that uses {{{foreign import
"wrapper"}}}.
Workaround, for now, is to not turn on DEP. Using exceptions isn't really
practical, because you would need to add an exception for every GHC-
compiled program.
