Comment (by trommler):

 Replying to [comment:2 rwbarton]:
 > Isn't this a Cabal bug, not a GHC bug? We don't expect GHC to
 automatically add rpath entries for C libraries it is told to link
 against, do we?
 I am not sure anymore that this is actually a bug. If an executable is
 linked against a shared object that is not found in a standard location
 the user needs to provide the extra RPATH (or RUNPATH) or set
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly. So what I said in comment:1 is not a
 workaround but the actual fix.
