How to selectively link certain system libraries statically into Haskell program binary?

Question

I\'m currently developing some web application written in Haskell. All Haskell libraries are statically linked; although this "bloats" the executable, it not so much o

You can use -optl to pass options directly to the linker, so to link everything statically, you can use:

ghc --make Main.hs -optl-static -optl-pthread

or put these in GHC-Options if you're using Cabal.

You can probably tweak this futher to have more fine grained control over what to link statically or dynamically. The -v (verbose) option is helpful here to see the final linker command.
