You can use ghc to link your C programs and if that is an option, you 
strongly advised to do so. If you do it the hard way by calling the linker 
directly you have to specify all runtime modules for Haskell programs as 
well. For a quick hack, you can run ghc in verbose mode and see what it is 
linking in. The more thorough method is to look at a file called 
package.conf which includes details about what object files and what flags 
are used to do the linking. The package rts is the one which is included 
by default. Thus you would need to link the file HSrts and define all the 
symbols mentioned in order to use the normal linker to link a mixed 
Haskell C program.

Hope this helps,
Axel.
