better support for static linking

Reported by: duncan Owned by:

Description

Generating statically linked binaries on different platforms requires a bit of knowledge about what flags to pass to ghc. It would be nice to just be able to cabal configure --enable-static-executable or something and have that pass the extra -optl-static and whatever ghc options are required.

If it's not possible to generate static binaries it should make some attempt at explaining why.

  • difficulty changed from normal to easy (<4 hours)
  • milestone set to Cabal-1.8

Should not be too hard at least on common platforms. Just needs a bit of testing. Standalone task for some volunteer.
