Comment (by ezyang):

 Well, that is quite annoying, but good to know (that's why I put this in
 the test). I suppose there are a few things we could do. Probably the
 easiest thing to do is relax the test and warn users that GHCi's static
 loading behavior may differ from the dynamic loading behavior on certain
 platforms (code with both ctors and init_array ought to be quite rare).
 Could be a nasty gotcha if it does matter, though.
