Almost.  Especially when interfacing with C code you should include the
"-threaded" option to GHC to link against the multi-threaded run-time
system.  Otherwise your Haskell code will block your C code and
vice-versa.  Also some concurrency features don't work properly in the
single-threaded run-time.
