Comment:
I believe this is done. We don't build or ship the GHCi library for the
GHC package, and GHC falls back to using the `.a` file whenever it can't
find a `.o` file for a package. It should be safe to always use
`--disable-library-for-ghci` with Cabal (but perhaps a little slower to
load the package into GHCi).
