 `-framework` isn't passed to GHC. It would be great if someone could track
 down why this is the case.

 Cabal still doesn't make GHC pass the {{{-framework}}} flag to the system
 linker.

 Ahh, I had forgotten about this result. Yes, this does sound suspicious.
 Thanks!

 I believe the relevant portion of GHC is
 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/browser/ghc/compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs#L1748
 DriverPipeline.linkBinary]. The framework logic there looks correct but it
 would be nice if someone with access to OS X could add some traces so we
 could figure out where things are going awry.
