Comment:

 Thanks for the report. I've made Cabal build the shared library by default
 (although note that you'll need to build cabal-install against the HEAD
 Cabal in order for the 'cabal' program to do so).

     Build shared libraries by default when building for a dynamic ghc;
 fixes #7846

     GHCi will need a shared library, so we build it by default
