Re: doctest + libghc-lens-dev (and other debian haskell libs I guess, on ghc8/testing) = unhandled ELF relocation(RelA) type 42

Clint,

thanks for getting back to me about this issue, and sorry for the delay
in answering.

I see that you have uploaded a newer doctest version: 0.11.0-4 in unstable
with a changelog entry of
  * Ensure build against ghc with amd64 linker fix.

Working on debian testing usually (and thus still having version
0.11.0-3+b3) I cannot tell yet, if this fixes the issue, I would hope so.

I will want to install debian unstable on a seperate laptop (or in the
worst case: wait till 0.11.0-4 enters testing), and see if the issue is
still apparent, only then I would open a debian bug report.

Thanks again,
  Andreas
