Too many symbols

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Right GhcLibWays=v did the job, thanks

| Hi Simon,
| 
| I believe I've found the problem. The issue is that even with
| DYNAMIC_* variables set, GhcLibWays still contains the 'dyn' way as
| opposed to just the 'vanilla' way. If you do:
| 
| $ make show VALUE=GhcLibWays
| 
| in your build tree, it will probably say "v dyn", indicating it'll
| build the GHC DLL as well as vanilla objects. This makes sense since
| we rebuild using different ways in a lot of cases - dynamic-too is
| just a special case, and the other variables (DYNAMIC_TOO,
| DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS and DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT) don't make a difference
| here.
| 
| In the short term, you can hardcode GhcLibWays=v in your build
| settings, but the default templates should perhaps expose something
| more sensible. (They should also precisely document the impact of
| these variables too.)
