Comment 2 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-11-28 20:26:43 UTC 
Do you need ghc-7.8 for something specific? ghc-7.10 should generally have better PIC support.
Comment 3 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-11-29 02:10:51 UTC 
Not particularly, it just cropped up as a test target on my box due to recent changes, and subsequently I figure that given this sort of problem, the affected version should start on the road to being removed ( either by simply masking it or actual removal ), because in a near future, it will cease to be installable.
Comment 4 Zentoo 2023-10-28 05:52:12 UTC 
Can be closed.
Not any more relevant since this ghc version is not any more in portage.
