Comment:

 Asking 'gcc --print-file-name' might solve some of the C++ troubles
 mentioned above, but in general I feel that it is the wrong thing to do:
 GHCi is not mirroring what would happen at runtime for a compiled program,
 see e.g. https://github.com/haskell-opengl/OpenGL/issues/42 where the
 problem is described in length for libGL.so. In that special case it could
 be argued  that the Ubuntu setup is a bit strange, but the C++ stuff above
 looks equally weird to me, too.

 IMHO, if dlopen(foo, RTLD_LAZY) succeeds when looking for foo, one should
 not ask GCC and leave the path to foo as it is. GHCi will use the same
 mechanism later when loading/resolving symbols, anyway.
