New description:

 Currently Cabal does not support dynamical linking of executables against
 Haskell shared libraries.

 A workaround is to configure without profiling and pass
 "--ghc-option=-dynamic" to cabal configure.

 Configuring with -dynamic and -p leads to cabal builds
 failing with not being able to find p_dyn libraries.

 [It would be nice if 1.8 could be added to the "Version" selector
 and 6.12.1 to the "GHC Version" list here in trac.]
