ghci failed to load static archive

[Andrew Pimlott]

I'm sure this is pilot error, but I'm reporting it like the message
says.  I was trying to figure out how to get the fudgets library
loaded into ghci.  (I still haven't succeeded, in case you have any
tips.  Fudgets programs work fine when compiled with ghcxmake.)

    % ghci -fglasgow-exts /home/pimlott/local/fudgets/lib/GhcFudgets/libFudgets*

    Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,
