Here is a development test build for Fedora:
 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1824814
with shared libraries. :-)

BTW I already succeeded in building
a dynamically linked cabal-install rpm locally.
For a comparison of size:

 1.2M 2009-11-19 23:33 cabal-install-0.7.5-0.fc13.x86_64.rpm (static)
 319K 2009-11-23 18:52 cabal-install-0.7.5-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm (dynamic)

With thanks and congratulations to those
who finally gave us working shared libraries on Linux! :)

Happily, Jens

ps This should all be landing in fedora development (rawhide)
for F13 before too long.
