Comment (by thomie):

 The difference in linker arguments you are seeing is because the ghc api
 seems to default to dynamic linking. This seems to be a result of the
 confusion in #10636.

 Here is a workaround: replace the call to `setSessionDynFlags` by:
 {{{
 setSessionDynFlags (updateWays dflags)
 }}}

 Dynamic linking should work though, so that link failure is a bug by
 itself. Can you confirm that the following command fails as well: `ghc
 -dynamic test.hs`. This might require a Nix expert to fix. Why does it
 mention 32-bit, while you are on a 64-bit platform.
