Problems creating a DLL with ghc-5.02.1

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Yes, if you're willing to do the following:

- only use the --mk-dll option when linking together object
   files & archives (i.e., don't try compile a Haskell source
   file and create its DLL during the same invocation of GHC).

   (Remembering to include the _stub.o files too when linking).

- modify your package.conf file, editing the entry for the 'rts'
   package to instead of having a library_dirs equal to
   ["$libdir"], have it be ["$libdir", "$libdir/gcc-lib"]

   Alternatively, add the command-line option "-Lc:/ghc/ghc-5.02.1/gcc-lib"
   to your ghc-5.02.1 (where c:/ghc/ghc-5.02.1 is wherever you've
   got GHC installed).
