commit 7b45030b81fb0588b858400c051f9f7c10ef2760
Author: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 6 11:39:18 2010 +0300

    Fixing link failure of compiler on ia64 ('-Wl,' prefixed value passed directly to ld)
    
        /usr/bin/ld -Wl,--relax -r -o dist-stage1/build/HSghc-6.10.4.o \
                                      dist-stage1/build/BasicTypes.o dist-stage1/build/DataCon.o ...
        /usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-Wl,--relax'
    
    If we just drop '-Wl,' part it will not help as '-r' and '--relax' are incompatible.
    
    Looks like '-Wl,--relax' was skipped by earlier binutils' ld as unknown option.
    Removing ia64 specific path.
