the spice server causing a heap overflow leading to a crash or
possible code execution. (CVE-2016-9577)
* A vulnerability was discovered in spice in the server's protocol

-split-sections replaced -split-objs with following upsides:
1) -split-objs adds considerable overhead to compile time
2) combined with stripping, it causes issues when cross-compiling
For upstream see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8405
This is supported only for Linux/Windows using ld linker.
GHC master also turns on -split-sections by default.
Example using stack:
Without splitting
$ du /nix/store/5paayhibayr73zqfaj458g4k4mv108jn-stack-1.3.2

Note: you currently need following overrides to build stack on 802:
vector-algorithms = dontCheck super.vector-algorithms;
path-io = doJailbreak super.path-io;
stack = doJailbreak super.stack;
Note: Should also work on GHC 8.0.1, but I'm being careful here.
We could backport later on.
Upstream bug: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697457
A new release containing this fix is expected in march; until then,
apply patch from upstream. Note that there have been essentially no
changes between 0.13 and this patch.
The most recent version on the sourceforge page is 0.11 which is quite
old; the official upstream site has 0.13; judging by the commit delta,
there've been quite a few bug fixes etc since 0.11.
The callCabal2nix function cannot reliably determine the appropriate "name" for
the package it's processing. Attempts to derive this information have led to
plenty of evaluation errors, and so I'd like to go for the obvious and reliable
solution now and let the caller specify that bit of information.
Here is an example that demonstrates how to use callCabal2nix.
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "gtk2hs";
repo = "gtk2hs";
rev = "eee61d84edf1dd44f8d380d7d7cae2405de50124";
sha256 = "12i53grimni0dyjqjydl120z5amcn668w4pfhl8dxscjh4a0l5nb";
};
in
pkgs.haskellPackages.callCabal2nix "gtkhs-tools" "${src}/tools" {}
If the flag enableIntegerSimple is true GHC will be build with the GPL-free but
slower integer-simple library instead of the faster but GPLed integer-gmp
library.
The attribute `pkgs.haskell.compiler.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"` provides a
GHC compiler build with `integer-simple`.
Similarly, the attribute `pkgs.haskell.packages.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`
provides a package set supporting `integer-simple`.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable does nothing on Darwin, but
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH does the same thing, so splice in the right variable
based on which system we're working on.
