Comment(by simonmar):
Problem 3 is that Cabal doesn't track ways properly yet, although
hopefully the [wiki:GSocMultipleInstances] project will address that.
I quite like the idea of building `.o` and `.dyn_o` at the same time, and
sharing the `.hi` file between the two. That would at least reduce the
pain of having to build things twice. This could then be the default mode
of compilation in Cabal.
I still think the right way to fix this is to enable `-dynamic` by default
on Unix systems (pending some performance measurements), after we have
fixed Cabal to track ways. On Windows, Ian's idea of building with
`-dynamic` but linking statically sounds interesting.
