Oh yeah, it looks like I have some invocations like:

    /usr/local/bin/ghc-7.10.0.20141222 -shared -dynamic ... -static ...

--disable-shared seems to be what I needed:

    cabal configure -w /usr/local/bin/ghc-7.10.0.20141222
--enable-tests --enable-benchmarks --ghc-option=-fllvm
--ghc-option=-static --disable-shared

Thanks!
