For cryptohash-sha256 (#899166), it seems that ld.gold produces broken
code. I tried with ld.bfd and the tests pass. The reason why this used
to work with GHC v8.0 is because v8.0 uses ld.bfd on mips/mipsel whereas
v8.2 uses bfd.gold.
Also, from https://wiki.debian.org/Haskell/GHC I noticed that GHC v8.2
uses ld.gold on most of the architectures (including amd64 and i386)
whereas GHC v8.0 uses ld.gold only on arm*. Is this an intentional
change? I was under the impression that we wanted to migrate away from
ld.gold (given how buggy has been so far).
