Comment (by trommler):

 I think linking `libHSGLUT...dylib` without framework GLUT ist just plain
 wrong. `cbits/HsGLUT.c` refers to symbols in the GLUT framework so we must
 link against framework GLUT.

 The reason it works with older ghci is that shared libraries were loaded
 (`dlopen`ed) with global scope (see #8935) and another package might have
 loaded GLUT before.

 In conclusion I agree with @rwbarton that we need to fix Cabal so it runs
 the final link with the appropriate `-framework` options.
