Comment:
You can work around this by editing the file `settings` in GHC's libdir
(e.g. `/usr/lib/ghc-7.4.1`).
The problem is that we test whether `ld` supports `--hash-size` in the
configure script, either when GHC is built or when the binary distribution
is configured. So if you're using a binary distribution you can just
reinstall it and that should fix it too. If you're on a system that
doesn't use binary distributions (ie. Mac or Windows) then editing the
`settings` file is the only way.
Can/should we do anything to fix this? Assigning to igloo who I think is
the last person to touch all this config stuff.
