Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 errge]:
 > I forgot to show that it in the test output, but not just the resulting
 binary is independent of GMP, but the GHC itself is too.
 This is great. I hope someone with more knowledge than me will have time
 to look into this ticket before 7.8 release. I'm marking status of this
 report as 'patch'.

 > BTW, is there some legal issues if a distribution decides to
 "distribute" GMP statically linked into a GHC binary?
 GMP is on LGPL, GHC is on BSD - I think these are compatible, so there
 shouldn't be any problems. We already include some code on GPL.
