BTW: rts/Linker.c is now split up into several files, especially the ELF parts are now in rts/linker/Elf.c, as I just noticed while giving ghc-8.2.2 a try. Finally it may be possible to work in this one without using unifdef with a megabyte of defines ;-) And I also noticed the the evil and stupid ghc-pwd had been removed (already in 8.0) and is now longer required. Curious how far my current build of ghc-8.2.2 will go... Ciao, Kili
