stack setup fails on arch linux

[wedens]

stack new stack-error && cd stack-error && stack setup fails on any resolver with ghc version different from system ghc.
Perhaps it is #614.

Works on other arch linux system with almost the same environment

I currently have the same issue :.

[dkasak]

I determined this to be a problem of using Arch's hardening-wrapper (which wraps calls to gcc to include special hardening flags). Either of the following workarounds fix the problem for me:

• Removing the hardening-wrapper package and logging out then into your account again.
• Setting HARDENING_PIE=0 in /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf.

The relevant upstream ticket for this issue seems to be this.

@dkasak Cool, good sleuthing! Feel like adding to the FAQ section here https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/faq/#i-get-strange-ld-errors-about-recompiling-with-fpic ?

@lethom @wedens Does @dkasak 's info help?

[wedens]

@mgsloan yes it does. I hope this issue will be fixed upstream.
thanks, @dkasak

@mgsloan Added the information in #2462. I think this can be closed once you merge.

[mgsloan]

Great, thanks!
