[Haskell-cafe] static linking with ghc?

[Johannes Waldmann]

Hi.

I want to produce a statically linked executable.
I am trying 'ghc  --make -fforce-recomp -static -optl-static  Main'

but it gives lots of  errors like 
(.text+0xfa): undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_unlock'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

A similar thing is mentioned here (see Caveat)
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Web/Literature/Static_linking

The ghc user guide talks a great length about shared libs
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/using-shared-libs.html
but I don't see anything on how to switch this off.
