Comment:

 Actually I was wrong about the exact issue being discussed in #10442, but
 the rest of my comment still applies.

 Do you have `-fobject-code` set in your cabal file somewhere? Of course
 what you are trying to do should work even so, but as a workaround you can
 use the bytecode interpreter.

 You do need to build your cbits with `-fPIC` here. I thought that Cabal
 was smart enough to do that automatically, but I guess not? Anyways, a
 Cabal issue and not a GHC one.

 Tentatively re-milestoning for 7.10.2.
