Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 rwbarton]:
 > I'm a little worried about whether the obvious fix for this (adding
 `-lfoo` to the gcc command line for building the temporary shared objects
 for each library `-lfoo` specified on the ghci command line) might cause
 #8935 to occur again in some configurations.
 The right way to build a shared library would be to add `-lfoo`. Haskell
 libraries are linked with `-Bsymbolic` and I wonder if that would indeed
 make #8935 come back.

 Perhaps it is better to go for option one in my comment:12 and load C
 Libraries with `RTLD_GLOBAL` after all.

 I'll take a look.
