Comment(by maeder):

 Replying to [comment:7 altaic]:
 > In my recent HEAD build with overly large binaries, `ghc --info` shows
 `("Object splitting supported","YES")`

 I've just recompiled ghc-7.0.2 with "Object splitting supported" (in
 `config.mk.in`) and now the hello binary has just "915K" and I observed no
 other problems.
