GHC needs a special flag to link shared libraries. We recently starting
building shared libraries for our Haskell packages. The static ones are
still being built, but they go to a separate output. I think you can
fix your problem in one of two ways:
1. Pass the “-dynamic” flag to GHC (and maybe “-fPIC”);
2. Use “ghc-ieee754:static”.
The first is preferred because the second could get really tricky if
there are nested dependencies.
The fact that the user experience is so wonky is a bit of packaging bug,
for sure. I’m not sure how to make it nicer just yet.
