ghc-7.10 fails to configure on aarch64 with ld.gold: cannot compute sizeof (long long)

On Fedora at least, the ghc-7.10 branch (as of yesterday) fails to configure on aarch64 when using ld.gold:

checking size of long long... configure: error: in `/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-7.10.1.20150414':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long long)

Gdb says:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/petersen/conftest 
During startup program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.

Compiling the conftest.c attached with -fuse-ld=gold causes it to crash when run.

$ gcc -o conftest conftest.c
$ ./conftest
$ gcc -o conftest -fuse-ld=gold conftest.c
$ ./conftest
Killed
$
