The default makepkg configuration sets LDFLAGS but not LD. GHC used to take this as its cue to select its own choice of LD. However GHC would not check that its choice of LD supports LDFLAGS. This is a problem for dependencies with C components, which get linked using this LD.

Starting with ghc 9.6.5 (2024-04-16), one can build this behaviour out of ghc[1]. ghcup has picked up this configuration for its bindists[2], and is to my knowledge the only bindist fixing this -- my recommendation is to use its ghc to build the package.
