            Bug ID: 1203951
           Summary: [aarch64] no ghci since ghc is built with
                    DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: ghc

Description of problem:
Due to build problems probably related to dynamic linking
(eg dynamic "ghc-pkg --version" not outputting from subprocess)
ghc-7.8 (and 7.10) are built currently with DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO
on aarch64.  It is possible that ld.gold might help but
apparently it is not mature/full-featured yet.

This results in no ghci on aarch64.

Upstream bug is https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9673

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ghc-7.8.4 (patched)
(ghc-7.10.1 and current ghc-7.11)

How reproducible:
100%
