Comment (by jessicah):

 FWIW, I run a dynamic only installation of GHC on Haiku (no vanilla libs
 for GHC or packages installed via Cabal), and have not had any issues.
 However, I have not run ghc-pkg register manually. So maybe this is fixed?
 (This was with 7.8)

 The only caveat I've discovered is that you cannot build a new version of
 GHC using a dynamic-only GHC installation (see #10374).
