Comment (by simonmar):
To my mind this is stalled not just due to lack of effort, but there's
some design work to be done - mainly around how distributions, and how
Cabal and cabal-install will work with shared libraries. See my list of
questions above
([http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1876#comment:11]) for a
start.
The other thing that worries me is that without having support for fixed
ABIs, we could have more problems with shared libraries, since when
someone reinstalls a library they will break not only dependent packages,
but also existing dynamically-linked binaries.
