 See the attached program. Make sure to compile it under a cabal sandbox so
 that it picks up the static compilation options in cabal.config.

 It doesn't compile, complaining about a missing dynamic (.so/.dll) library
 although everything should be static.

 It does work if either
 - the static compilation options are left out of cabal.config and
 everything compiles dynamically, or
 - the `tmp` variable from Main.hs is removed, or
 - the staticth library import is removed from the executable (remove
 dependency in staticth.cabal and import statement from Main.hs).

 If all 3 are present it doesn't compile.
