Replying to [comment:2 simonmar]:
> This ticket goes off topic a bit. Is it a report about the lack of
support for certain relocations, or a feature request for the use of the
system dynamic linker in GHCi? Regarding the latter, I think we should
move the discussion elsewhere (cvs-ghc or glasgow-haskell-users). Let's
leave this ticket for the lack of support for relocations, which may be
subsumed by dynamic linking if that happens.
Yes, the ticket is about the unsupported relocations and other bugs in the
dynamic linker for Mach-O. But IMHO using the system linker is the best
way to fix those bugs. (At least, I'd be surprised if anybody would sit
down and implement the missing pieces. Personally, I certainly would
rather invest the time moving towards using the system linker.)
