You shouldn't need dynamic-by-default. It should Just Work in HEAD, both unregisterised and registerised.
Just to clarify, how does one configure GHCi to use dynamic linking now? Should I interpret your message to mean that it is already configured this way? Where in the tree is this configured? To be perfectly clear, I want to ensure that dynamic linking is always preferred over linking static objects with the RTS linker. Will this happen as things stand? How does GHCi decide how to load a library? Is this the role of GhcDynamic? I'm still not really sure why `DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT` should be causing the problems I'm observing. It seems to me that it is functionally equivalent to passing the `-dynamic` flag as they both simply add `WayDyn` to DynFlag's `ways` list. Do you have any idea where they might differ? Cheers, - Ben
