 Replying to [comment:7 KrzysztofSkrzetnicki]:

 force GHC to use library installed in the system

 Hehe, I think we agree on all points and facing the same problem: bin
 packages work but not binlib. :)

 But that's a good workaround for forcing dynamic for binlib though - maybe
 I should use it in some fedora packages for now.

 I meant something like

 {{{cabal install --disable-library-profiling --enable-shared --ghc-
 option=-dynamic}}}

 for your binlib package - dunno if {{{--disable-executable-profiling}}} is
 needed too.
