Comment(by igloo):
Hmm, with
{{{
$ cat h.hs
import SpecConstr
main = return ()
}}}
I get:
{{{
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3
$ ghc --make h -package ghc
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( h.hs, h.o )
Linking h ...
$ nm h | grep ghc | wc -l
59049
$ ls -lh h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ian ian 32M Oct 15 13:29 h
$ strip h
$ ls -lh h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ian ian 21M Oct 15 13:29 h
}}}
and:
{{{
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.1.20101014
$ ghc --make h -package ghc
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( h.hs, h.o )
Linking h ...
$ nm h | grep ghc | wc -l
66744
$ ls -lh h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ian ian 45M Oct 15 13:30 h
$ strip h
$ ls -lh h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ian ian 29M Oct 15 13:30 h
}}}
i.e. it looks like it never worked for me.
What does
{{{
ar t `ghc --print-libdir`/ghc-6.12.3/libHSghc-6.12.3.a | wc -l
}}}
say for you?
