GHCi crash: illegal text-relocation to _ in _ from _ in _ for architecture x86_64; relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol _ can not be used when making a shared object

Given a statically-linked Haskell object file, interactive GHCi 7.8.2 crashes.

$ cat >Foo.hs <<EOF
module Foo where

foo :: IO ()
foo = print "Foo"
