Great, thanks.

This seems to get rid of the problem in ghci:

$ ghci -package ghc

But the problem remains when making for example testGHC.gs:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
module Main where

import qualified GHC
import DynFlags (defaultDynFlags)

main = GHC.defaultErrorHandler defaultDynFlags $ putStrLn "Hello World"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ ghc -package ghc --make testGHC.hs
