GHC 7.10.3 giving loads of linking errors

I am trying to reproduce memory usage regressions mentioned in this reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/mmpnic/explanation_for_significant_increase_of_memory/

For that I installed GHC 7.10.3. Now when I try to compile anything with that version of GHC I get a long list of linking errors telling me to recompile with -fPIC, but that doesn't help. Compiling with -dynamic instead does work.

The full output is here: ghc-7.10.3-log.txt

Other versions like 8.6.5, 8.8.4, 8.10.4 do not have this problem.
