Dear GHC team, Ubuntu applies the following patch to the ghc package¹:

# If gcc knows about the stack protector, turn it off.
and it was requested² that this should be done in Debian as well. I
generally feel uneasy diverging from upstream, as it could make
debugging harder, so I’m contacting you first whether you might be
interested in applying the change to ghc proper.
I did not dig deep into the reason behind the patch, but
http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking seems to give some reasons,
and the author of the patch, Matthias Klose, is CCed.
Greetings,
Joachim
