Comment:

 I can't seem to reproduce this even on `7.10.3`.

 {{{
 $ ghc --interactive Lib
 GHCi, version 7.10.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 [1 of 1] Compiling Lib              ( Lib.hs, interpreted )
 Ok, modules loaded: Lib.
 *Lib> :browse
 main :: IO ()
 *Lib> main

 hello
 *Lib>
 }}}

 I'm not sure what stack is doing, but in your cabal file you specify a
 `Lib.c` and a `Lib.hs` in the same folder. What is most likely happening
 is that both compile to `Lib.o` and the wrong object file is loaded.

 The package doesn't compile either on a normal compile.

 try renaming `Lib.hs` to something else.
