Linking completely statically

[Herrmann, Andreas]

Hi Volker,

Yes, it is possible to generate fully statically linked Haskell binaries.
Though it requires a bit of setup. For example the GNU C library glibc is
not really intended for fully static linking, but you can use musl as an
alternative libc instead.

Probably the easiest way is to use static-haskell-nix [1]. Usage
instructions are available in the project README. See [2] if you're not
familiar with Nix.

Recently, the Haskell extension to Bazel, rules_haskell, also gained the
ability to generate fully statically linked binaries building on top of
Nix, see [3].

Best, Andreas
