Comment(by simonmar):

 I wouldn't be surprised if the GHC API assumes `LinkInMemory` when using
 interactive evaluation (`runStmt` and friends).  So the easy workaround is
 "don't do that", and we should add a test and an error message somewhere.
 I don't think `NoLink` or `LinkBinary` make much sense here anyway - or do
 you have a use case in mind?
