Comment (by Phyx-):

 Ah, great thanks for the info, this saves me a lot of time! Yes I see now
 what you mean. I can certainly change GHC to output the right section
 names, that at least lessens the maintenance burden a bit.

 both it and string merging are on my list for 8.4 (along with dynamic
 linking). I'll take a look at his blog post and see!
