Comment (by darchon):

 Replying to [comment:2 simonmar]:
 > I expect there's a decision being made about whether to link dynamically
 based on `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` rather than whether the program was
 compiled with `-dynamic` or not.
 The `haddock` executables referred to in the bug report are built using a
 `cabal install`; they do not refer to a `haddock` executable build during
 a `make` in the `ghc` build-tree.
 I'm not building `haddock` during my build of `ghc` (ref. the
 `HADDOCK_DOCS=NO` in my `build.mk`).
 And I assume the `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` has no effect on the dynamic-
 linking decision made by `cabal`.
