[Haskell-cafe] ghc - force library search order

I need to force a library to be searched for unresolved symbols after all 
other libraries have been searched, and I would rather not resort to 
constructing the linker command line directly. Is there a way to do this?

i.e. I want for example -lfoo to appear after all other haskell libraries 
and before system libraries (for example -lmsvcrt) once ghc has constructed 
the link command. i.e. how is it possible to coerce ghc into respecting 
dependencies between the libraries. GHC does a good job in general with 
native libraries, but there are allways corner cases.

I have a feeling this is not possible, but it dosn't hurt to ask.
