Comment (by bgamari):

 For the record, I played around with the GHC command line for a bit and
 got close to getting it to build with the following link order,
 {{{
 api/tmr_strerror.o
 api/tmr_param.o
 api/hex_bytes.o
 api/serial_transport_posix.o
 api/serial_reader_l3.o
 api/serial_reader.o
 api/tm_reader_async.o
 api/tm_reader.o
 api/tmr_utils.o
 glue/glue.o
 api/osdep_posix.o
 }}}
 Unfortunately this also doesn't quite work since `isSecureAccessEnabled`
 is defined in `serial_reader` but used in both `serial_reader_l3` and
 `serial_reader`, whereas the latter appears to have dependencies on
 `serial_reader_l3`, creating a circular dependency.
