Dear maintainers,
The haskell-pandoc-lua-engine is blocked from building by haskell-pandoc
in the Debian Package Auto-Building environment.
Compiling the haskell-pandoc-lua-engine failed for loong64 in my local ENV.
The error message is consistent with haskel-pandoc, and both are related
to "relocation R_LARCH_B26 overflow ......" during static linking in the
test-pandoc stage.
The build error log of haskell-pandoc-lua-engine from my local ENV is as
follows,
```

```
There are two suggestions to solve "relocation R_LARCH_B26 overflow
......" during static linking.
1.Add build rules to reduce binary size.
2.Disable tests in d/rules on loong64.
3.Add extra --ghc-options in d/rules on loong64 to increase
jump-instructions' range.
It is recommended to use --ghc-options="-optc-mcmodel=medium" in d/rules
for loong64.
Please consider the patch I attached.
With the attached patch, the haskell-pandoc-lua-engine was built
successfully in my local ENV.
Your opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Dandan Zhang
