Comment:
We've committed Wolfgang's patch to `Linker.c` that understands the PIC
relocations on x86_64. This means that it is possible to compile the
Haskell code using `-fPIC` to workaround this problem. Shared libraries
will also make this less of an issue, as it will then only be a problem
for modules rather than packages that are loaded into GHCi.
