I have often seen problems like this with the Solaris linker. (I
suspect it must have a super-linear algorithm for resolving symbol
references.) The solution for me was to call the linker several times,
passing fewer object files to the linker at a time, e.g. using xargs.
Maybe the ghc pipeline driver needs to be taught how to do that?
