o.O I don't think the ghc runtime uses dlopen() to get at gmp (and I'm not
sure that would even work in a static binary). You may need to resort to
strace to find out what's trying to pull in libgmp.so.whatever. Unless this
program is like xmonad and requires ghc behind the scenes to build
something, in which case you would indeed need everything that ghc requires
(and, of course, ghc itself).
