1021	GHC static libraries are not position independent in OSX	guest		"GHC static libraries are not built position-independent in OSX, which prevents the user from developing creating dynamic libraries and bundles with Haskell code.

GHC should try to build its libraries with -fPIC in the architectures which admit it.

Here is an example in OSX 10.3/ppc with GHC6.6 (built by macports)

echo ""module Foo where"" > Foo.hs
ghc -no-hs-main -optl -bundle -fPIC -o Foo.bundle Foo.hs
ld: /opt/local/lib/ghc-6.6/libHSbase.a(.o::Pack(void)) has local relocation entries in non-writable section"	bug	closed	normal	6.8.2	Build System	6.6	duplicate			MacOS X	powerpc		Unknown
