x86_64, cannot link to static data in shared
libs
* os: Unknown => Linux
Comment:
I've fixed part of the problem (getEnvironment was broken), but this still
won't work with GHCi on x86_64 due to another problem: for annoying
reasons the dynamic linker doesn't support linking to static data in
shared libraries, which the 'environ' variable in C is. So I'm leaving
the bug open with a revised heading.
