Don't know about Windows, but on traditional Unix systems -l appends an extension and prepands /library/path/lib, so -lc links /lib/libc.so; if your library does not follow the naming conventions, you must omit -l and directly reference ./foobarlib.so as a file to link (GHC will link any object code files listed on the command line).
