+{- Note [Run-time linker info]
+
+See also: #5240, #6063, #10110
+
+Before 'runLink', we need to be sure to get the relevant information
+about the linker we're using at runtime to see if we need any extra
+options. For example, GNU ld requires '--reduce-memory-overheads' and
+'--hash-size=31' in order to use reasonable amounts of memory (see
+trac #5240.) But this isn't supported in GNU gold.
+
+Generally, the linker changing from what was detected at ./configure
+time has always been possible using -pgml, but on Linux it can happen
+'transparently' by installing packages like binutils-gold, which
+change what /usr/bin/ld actually points to.
+
+Clang vs GCC notes:
+
+For gcc, 'gcc -Wl,--version' gives a bunch of output about how to
+invoke the linker before the version information string. For 'clang',
+the version information for 'ld' is all that's output. For this
+reason, we typically need to slurp up all of the standard error output
+and look through it.
+
+Other notes:
+
+We cache the LinkerInfo inside DynFlags, since clients may link
+multiple times. The definition of LinkerInfo is there to avoid a
+circular dependency.

+
+{- Note [ELF needed shared libs]
+
+Some distributions change the link editor's default handling of
+ELF DT_NEEDED tags to include only those shared objects that are
+needed to resolve undefined symbols. For Template Haskell we need
+the last temporary shared library also if it is not needed for the
+currently linked temporary shared library. We specify --no-as-needed
+to override the default. This flag exists in GNU ld and GNU gold.
+
+The flag is only needed on ELF systems. On Windows (PE) and Mac OS X
+(Mach-O) the flag is not needed.
+
+-}
+
+{- Note [Windows static libGCC]
+
+The GCC versions being upgraded to in #10726 are configured with
+dynamic linking of libgcc supported. This results in libgcc being
+linked dynamically when a shared library is created.
+
+This introduces thus an extra dependency on GCC dll that was not
+needed before by shared libraries created with GHC. This is a particular
+issue on Windows because you get a non-obvious error due to this missing
+dependency. This dependent dll is also not commonly on your path.
+
+For this reason using the static libgcc is preferred as it preserves
+the same behaviour that existed before. There are however some very good
+reasons to have the shared version as well as described on page 181 of
+https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.2.0/gcc.pdf :
+
+"There are several situations in which an application should use the
+ shared ‘libgcc’ instead of the static version. The most common of these
+ is when the application wishes to throw and catch exceptions across different
+ shared libraries. In that case, each of the libraries as well as the application
+ itself should use the shared ‘libgcc’. "
