Summary: checkProddableBlock: invalid fixup in runtime linker

Initial Comment:
From: Tom Pledger <tkpledger@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Platform: Mandrake, linux kernel version 2.4.27-xena-1

This one has a good workaround: leave off the -g flag 
when compiling C for use with ghci.

$ echo "int hello(){}" > hello.c
$ gcc -g -c hello.c
$ ghci hello.o
