-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
GHC static libraries are not built position-independent in OSX, which
 prevents the user from developing creating dynamic libraries and bundles
 with Haskell code.

 GHC should try to build its libraries with -fPIC in the architectures
 which admit it.

 Here is an example in OSX 10.3/ppc with GHC6.6 (built by macports)

 echo "module Foo where" > Foo.hs
 ghc -no-hs-main -optl -bundle -fPIC -o Foo.bundle Foo.hs
 ld: /opt/local/lib/ghc-6.6/libHSbase.a(.o::Pack(void)) has local
 relocation entries in non-writable section
