Replying to [comment:3 slyfox]:
> Moreover, ghc does not embed RPATH to libffi for packages using it:
In fact ghc does not set any RPATH (or RUNPATH if you are using ELF's new
dynamic tags) in the libraries that come with it. I relies Cabal setting
the correct RPATH/RUNPATH in the binaries using a library.
As this is a more general issue with the way shared libraries are built
(see for example trac #7062) and installed in ghc, I did not yet add a
patch that just fixes the symptom.
