Comment (by thomie):

 Haskell libraries are always stripped currently, using `--strip-unneeded`
 by Cabal. You don't need `make install-strip` for that. There was a bug in
 Cabal where .a files didn't get stripped for us, for a few releases, but
 that should be fixed now.

 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2782

 The only libraries that aren't stripped are the those for the runtime
 system. I'm not sure they aren't. I might look into this later.
