Comment(by dterei):

 Simon Marlow said in an email:

 {{{
 Also I believe even if it works, the code that LLVM generates for -dynamic
 is not very good. This is because it makes every symbol reference a
 dynamic reference, whereas the NCG only  makes dynamic references for
 symbols in other packages.  It ought to be possible to fix this by using
 the right symbol declarations (I'm guessing, I haven't looked into it).
 }}}

 I can't remember if this is correct or not but recording here to look into
 when I have time as part of dynamic support in LLVM.
