Comment (by rwbarton):

 A log file provided by the reporter on IRC showed Cabal building cbits
 with `ghc -fPIC`. I guess Cabal should really build cbits twice when it is
 building both a static and a dynamic library, ugh.

 It might also be worth implementing in the ghci linker whatever linker
 magic makes the system linker not complain about multiple copies of this
 symbol.
