Comment(by batterseapower):

 It was my understanding that GHCi will use the .a on all platforms - so
 you could disable it unconditionally for GHC >= 7. See the patch at
 http://darcs.haskell.org/cgi-
 bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=ghc-7.0/ghc;a=darcs_commitdiff;h=20101127173000-3fd76-04f98172935bf6b1a3f4154d57c06f620b6b9427.gz
 for details.

 However, I'm having some problems making it actually work (as you can see
 above). I've filed GHC #4901
 (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4901) to get feedback on
 whether my understanding at fault or GHCi is.
