GHC is used in a mode which generates C code, which is then compiled using GCC. (This is why Debian could apply the -mxgot workaround so quicky.) >> You'll see that in Fedora eventually.

This is the Debian bug report about the build failure: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832824>
