Comment (by simonmar):
I looked into this a bit. The problem seems to be that when the linker
comes to link the expression 'A', it traverses the dependencies graph and
doesn't find module `B`. The reason is that the dependencies for module
`A` say `C[boot]`, and don't include `B`, despite the fact that `C`
depends on `B` (module dependencies are transitively closed, except for
`[boot]` dependencies).
Perhaps we need to recursively add dependencies for `[boot]` modules that
we find? (see `compiler\ghci\Linker.hs:get_deps`).
