Disable dynamic linking optimisations on OS X
To improve performance of the RTS when dynamically linked on x86, I previously disabled -fPIC for certain critical modules (the GC, and a few others). However, build reports suggest that the dynamic linker on OS X doesn't like this, so I'm disabling this optimsation on that platform.
