Invalid PATH set for `-B` dirs when calling gcc to link
## Summary When `-B` values are set in `-optl`, GHC constructs a seemingly invalid `PATH` from it, using `;` instead of `:` to prepend to the existing `PATH`. ## Steps to reproduce On a system where all executables needed to run GHC are in `/bin`: ``` $ cat Main.hs module Main where main = return () $ PATH=/bin ghc -optl-B/var/tmp Main [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Main.hs, Main.o ) Linking Main ... collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' compilation terminated. ``` (`strace` shows `PATH="/var/tmp";/bin` being set in the environment). ## Expected behavior Link sample program successfully. ## Environment * GHC version used: 7.6.3 and 8.4.4 Optional: * Operating System: linux * System Architecture: x86_64
