Thanks for the tests.
On amd64, did you still get messages like
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... ghc: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a:
unknown symbol `__guard_local'
or just segfaults? (I'd expect the latter).
Anyway, I tried to understand ghc's own runtime linker this day,
and got lost in #ifdef hell, so I'll probably just enable shared
libraries in ghc (in the hope that ghci will use dlopen(3) to load
hs-libraries).
Ciao,
Kili
