Comment (by duncan):

 I should point out (as in my dupe ticket #11118) that this causes `cabal
 repl` to never be able to load .o files for modules previously compiled,
 and that there is no sensible workaround that `cabal` can use. The only
 way to make it work, afaics, is to call ghc to build things twice, once
 for `-static` and once for `-dynamic` outputs. We don't want to do this
 since it'll almost double compile times compared to using `-dynamic-too`.

 So this is perhaps more important than spj realised (in #comment:4).
