Comment (by igloo):

 For platforms that don't support either the GHCi linker or dynlibs
 currently, then I think it would be easier and more useful to add dynlib
 support. There may be one or two (I'd guess that Arm Linux and PPC Linux
 are the only likely candidates) that currently support the GHCi linker and
 not dynlibs, but I think that it would be better for people who care about
 such platforms to add dynlib support rather than continuing to maintain
 the GHCi linker.
