I have a large tarball I want to link into an executable as a
ByteString. What is the best way to do this? I can convert the
tarball into a haskell file, but I'm afraid ghc would take a long time
to compile it. Is there any way to link constant data directly with
ghc? If not, what's the most

Is this valid syntax? I get a syntax error in 6.10.1, and I don't see
it documented in the FFI report.

Thanks, this worked great. Just a few seconds to link in a 5M
tarball. Details:
test.s:
.global test_data
test_data:
.byte 0
.byte 1
.byte 2
...
Foo.hs:
import Foreign
import Data.ByteString.Internal
import Data.Word
import System.IO.Unsafe
foreign import ccall test_data :: Ptr Word8
