Comment:

 I agree, this isn't something we can/should fix.

 Mark, you could work around the problem by moving the TH module and
 everything below it into a library. Or even moving all the Haskell code
 into a library, and just having the C main as an executable. Cabal
 packages can contain both a library and an executable, so as long as there
 is only one cut point it won't have too much overhead.
