Comment(by bos):
I think that the proposed solution of using `gcc -print-search-dirs` may
not necessarily be correct. For instance, under Linux, `libstdc++.so` is a
symlink to the ''real'' `libstdc++.so.6`, and on many distros the symlink
won't be present if the `libstdc++-devel` package or its equivalent has
not been installed.
I believe the real problem is that `ghc` records the plain name of the
library that is depended upon at build time, when instead it should be
either following the symlink or interpreting the ld script, and storing
the complete path to that, just like the normal system linker does.
