I know that gtk+hs adds a -L/usr/lib option to the command line, which comes
originally from gtk-config.
I'm still confused by what you said about GHC not linking with the libgmp.a in
/opt/ghc, and yet it still manages to link programs using arbitrary precision integers
somehow. Normally GHC won't look in /usr/local/lib for libraries, so it won't even
find your GMP 3 library at all.
Hmm. All very mysterious. I think you'll need to send us output from ghc -v for a
link that failed and one that succeeded.
Cheers,
Simon
