Public bug reported:
$ dpkg-query -W ghc
ghc 7.10.3-7ubuntu1
$ cabal unpack old-time
Unpacking to old-time-1.1.0.3/

See `config.log' for more details
The relevant config.log snippet is:

Indeed, those gcc flags don’t work:
$ printf '#include <stdio.h>\nint main(){puts("Hello, world!");return 0;}' >
hello.c
$ gcc -fno-PIE -fno-stack-protector hello.c
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: /tmp/ccB13xCt.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata'
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/tmp/ccB13xCt.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I see that ghc was already patched to pass -fno-PIE to gcc. I suspect
things would work if it also passed -no-pie:
$ gcc -fno-PIE -no-pie -fno-stack-protector hello.c
$ ./a.out
Hello, world!
