Thanks. When I followed the ticket, it gave me the impression failure for dynamic GHCi seems relatively reasonable, so I assumed this was acceptable. Should've just asked!

     linker_unload fails when using dynamic GHCi.

     This is because dynamic GHCi can't load archive files, and linker_unload
     explicitly does this via loadArchive().

Sigh.  I've no idea why the linker has an explicit check for this, there's no reason why it can't work.  I'll fix it.

Cheers,
        Simon
