Just to confirm: By "runtime linking" do you mean dynamic linking or support in the RTS's own linker? In general GHC uses "runtime linking" to mean the latter.

Indeed, I mean the latter. Specifically, the code in `rts/linker` in the GHC tree.

I suspect what you are observing is expected behavior: The linker is built regardless of whether TargetHasRTSLinker is set. This field is really only used by the testsuite driver to skip tests which would require the RTS linker.

Makes sense. Thank you!
