Sorry I got a bit sidetracked working on other things.

I have a slightly reduced testcase, but it still requires about 50M of
objects so I'm working on reducing it even more.

I did a test compile of ghc using the bfd linker and it does build (pass
--disable-ld-override to ghc configure). This might be usable as a
workaround if you don't want to delay the transition. I expect this will
make ghc / haskell build times increase a lot on mips* though.

Thanks,
James
