[Haskell-cafe] FFI link failing due to no main?

Hi,

After creating my stub objects etc using GHC, I'm trying to create a  
library with a C interface to some Haskell functions.  I'm explicitly  
passing in -no-hs-main yet the linker still fails due to missing main?

I'm sure I've had this working before with a slightly simpler example,  
but can't work out what is wrong here.

If I give it a main (to humor it - it's not a solution), then it links  
and produces an executable - so it looks to me like I'm not telling  
the linker what I want correctly?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Phil.
