* For OSX only, change the default `--libsubdir` to `.`, i.e. equal to `$libdir`. * Update GHCs `Makefile`, so that, on OS X, `make install` puts the .dylib/.so/.a in `$libdir`.
I'm not sure we want to limit this to OS X. Having many `RPATH` directories is also a startup performance issue on Linux (and likely other platforms) since the dynamic linker does a linear search through every `RPATH` directory for every library it needs to load. This was noticed in #11587. The solution to this is to move all dynamic libraries into `$libdir`, as you suggest. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12479#comment:42 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
