I think you're trying to make a shared library from Haskell code, right? 
  You don't say what platform, but it looks like x86_64/Linux or maybe 
OS X.  On these platforms, code that goes into a shared library must be 
compiled with -fPIC.  You will also need to compile with -dynamic, in 
order to link against the shared versions of the RTS and the other 
Haskell libraries.

Cheers,
