Comment(by PHO):

 I found I can avoid the problem by putting the following options to
 mk/build.mk:
 {{{
 GhcRtsHcOpts = -optc-O0 -optc-g
 GhcRtsCcOpts = -O0 -g
 }}}

 This is my observation so far:
  * Optimized libHSrts_thr.a causes an evacuate() error.
  * libHSrts_debug.a causes a segmentation fault.
  * Unoptimized libHSrts_thr.a looks working.
 ...so the problem is not likely in gcc's optimizer but in rts. GCC is just
 revealing the hidden rts bug.
