Ah, looks like the symbol information exists in the .o files, but not in my actual executable. Could I invoke ld manually with some incantation to preserve the function symbols?

No, nothing fancy. It's just a nofib program.
I am seeing the .size directives in the .s files. And objdump -S gives output like this:
0000000000000368 :
368: 48 83 e3 07 and $0x7,%rbx
36c: 48 83 fb 02 cmp $0x2,%rbx
370: 0f 83 96 00 00 00 jae 40c
376: 48 8b 45 08 mov 0x8(%rbp),%rax
...
so it's just perf that's going awry?
... investigating perf ...
This might be my issue:

Now I just have to decode all of that!

I'm not passing any flags related to code generation, I don't think.
$HC -H64m -O -Rghc-timing -package array -H32m -hisuf hi -O1 -rtsopts -c Main.hs -o Main.o
So that'd just be the native code generator, right?.

Is there a objdump-ish way to directly look for these .size directives?
Thanks Johan.
If you tell GHC to keep all temporary file you could look in the .S files for the .size directive. It could be that I missed some place where we ought to put a .size directive. Are you doing dynamic linking?
