[Haskell-cafe] ghc with -fPIC support

[Phyx]

Hi All,

I'm trying to install GHC with -fPIC support in Fedora.
I've grabbed a source tarball since it seems no binary one has this.

In Build.mk i've changed the quick build type to

ifeq "$(BuildFlavour)" "quick"

SRC_HC_OPTS        = -H64m -O0 -fasm -fPIC
GhcStage1HcOpts    = -O -fasm -fPIC
GhcStage2HcOpts    = -O0 -fasm -fPIC
GhcLibHcOpts       = -O -fasm -fPIC
SplitObjs          = NO
HADDOCK_DOCS       = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_HTML = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PS   = NO
BUILD_DOCBOOK_PDF  = NO

endif

unfortunately, when compiling i still get the ld error

*** *** ghc -fglasgow-exts --make -shared -oHs2lib.a
/tmp/Hs2lib924498/Hs2lib.hs dllmain.o -static
-fno-warn-deprecated-flags -O2 -package ghc -package Hs2lib
-i/home/phyx/Documents/Haskell/Hs2lib -optl-Wl,-s

a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
*** /tmp/Hs2lib924498/Hs2lib.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

I've also told cabal to build any packages with -fPIC and shared.

Anyone have any ideas?
