Comment:

 Great explanation, thanks. Good thing GHC/Cabal doesn't rely on
 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (for installed libraries). We would be in a lot of
 trouble now if it did.

 I still don't understand the original problem reported to reddit
 (https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3ooxu4/library_not_loaded_libmariadb2dylib_os_x/,
 "I cloned the mysql package from bos/mysql and replaced the call to
 mysql_config program to mariadb_config program."). Maybe there's another
 bug somewhere, but it is unlikely GHC's fault.

 Closing this issue as wontfix.
