Comment (by basvandijk):

 Ok so on Nix `libc++.a` is an [https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld
 /Implicit-Linker-Scripts.html#Implicit-Linker-Scripts implicit linker
 script]: `INPUT(-lc++_static -lc++abi)`.

 Maybe we should give GHC support for linker scripts. Initially it could
 just support the [https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/File-
 Commands.html#File-Commands INPUT] command.

 This shouldn't be that hard.
 [https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/main/Ar.hs
 compiler/main/Ar.hs] needs to be adapted.
