Comment (by simonmar):
As Duncan says, this won't be a problem when we're using shared libraries:
It means that ghci will not need to link to system shared libs except
when someone uses `-lblah` on the ghci command line. That's because when
we link a Haskell package as a shared lib the system linker interprets
any linker scripts and embeds the list of dependencies on other shared
libs (other Haskell packages and system libs). Then ghci just dlopens
the shared libs for the directly used Haskell packages that that
automatically resolves all their deps on other Haskell and system shared
libs.
