Unfortunately it's not working here: $ dpkg-query -W ghc ghc 7.4.1-4 $ ghc test.hs Linking test ... /usr/bin/ld: --hash-size=31: unknown option /usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status "ghc --info" doesn't list a path for "ld": ,("C compiler command","/usr/bin/gcc") ,("C compiler flags"," -fno-stack-protector -Wl,--hash-size=31 -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads") ,("ar command","/usr/bin/ar") [...] ,("Gcc Linker flags","[\"-Wl,--hash-size=31\",\"-Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads\"]") ,("Ld Linker flags","[\"--hash-size=31\",\"--reduce-memory-overheads\"]") The command line seems to be assembled in libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs. gcc doesn't support an -flinker=ld.bfd option yet, so the suggested way to specify a linker is to pass -B/usr/lib/compat-ld on the command line[1].
