Comment:

 I've done some experimentation, and I think this is all caused by some
 libraries being installed without the dynamic way. If you use a `cabal`
 command compiled against the latest development version of `Cabal` then it
 should enable shared libraries by default.

 If you still think that something is wrong, then can you please give
 complete reproduction instructions starting from a fresh GHC HEAD build,
 and include the output of `cabal --version`?
