Comment (by simonmar):
The problem is not in Haddock, it's the GHC API. GHC's linker is using
dynamic linking even when the program using the GHC API is linked
statically, because it is using the value of `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS`, which
is set when GHC is built.
We might not be able to support using the GHC API from a statically linked
binary on all platforms, because it depends on having a working RTS
linker, and that's what we wanted to move away from. But I think we can
support it at least on ELF platforms where the RTS linker works for most
things.
