Comment (by rwbarton):

 This seems fairly bad and shouldn't block forever on a redesign if there's
 a way to fix it in the short term.

 However, I don't understand the issue precisely. The ticket title has a
 kind of type error, since `extra-lib-dirs` is a flag that is only
 meaningful to Cabal, not to ghc. Could someone provide a reproducer that
 does not involve stack or Cabal, or characterize the interaction between
 Cabal and ghc? This may not even be a ghc bug at all.
