How to produce a statically linked binary with GHC?

[Nicola Squartini]

Same result.

When I type

$> runhaskell Setup build --verbose=3

I see this
...
gcc -v -o dist/build/lambdaInit/lambdaInit

...

So I run that gcc command manually adding -lpthread at the end of it end it
works,  I get the static binary. Isn't it strange? It could be a gcc
problem.
