Stack used to work for me when I used the stack package from the package repo.
I switched over to ghcup to better manage versions, and now stack is complaining about not finding a linker. However, I have GNU ld on my system, what can I do here?
I have tested with Stack 2.9.1 and 2.9.3, and ghc 9.4.4.
$ stack build
