 I followed the instructions on the Haskell wiki "GHC/As a library" to
 compile a Haskell file:

 '''Main.hs'''
 {{{#!hs
 import GHC
 import GHC.Paths ( libdir )
 import DynFlags

 main =
     defaultErrorHandler defaultFatalMessager defaultFlushOut $ do
       runGhc (Just libdir) $ do
         dflags <- getSessionDynFlags
         setSessionDynFlags dflags
         target <- guessTarget "test.hs" Nothing
         setTargets [target]
         load LoadAllTargets
 }}}

 '''test.hs'''
 {{{#!hs
 main = putStrLn "hello"
 }}}

 I compile with ghc -package ghc -package ghc-paths --make Main.hs. When I
 execute ./Main, I get the following linking error:

 {{{
 ld: warning: PIE disabled. Absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic)
 not allowed in code signed PIE, but used in _szZ_info from test.o. To fix
 this warning, don't compile with -mdynamic-no-pic or link with -Wl,-no_pie

 I'm running the Nix package manager on MacOS X. Here are the compiler and
 linker commands for the GHC-API case.

 I noticed the following differences: Some of the linked libraries in the
 API case contain a -ghc7.10.2 suffix, e.g. -lHSrts-ghc7.10.2. When I
 execute the linking command without the suffix everything works fine.
 So I looked into the directories of the referenced libraries. The rts
 directory contains the following content:

 {{{
 libCffi.a
 libCffi_debug.a
 libCffi_l.a
 libCffi_p.a
 libCffi_thr.a
 libCffi_thr_debug.a
 libCffi_thr_l.a
 libCffi_thr_p.a
 libHSrts-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts.a
 libHSrts_debug-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts_debug.a
 libHSrts_l-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts_l.a
 libHSrts_p.a
 libHSrts_thr-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts_thr.a
 libHSrts_thr_debug-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts_thr_debug.a
 libHSrts_thr_l-ghc7.10.2.dylib
 libHSrts_thr_l.a
 libHSrts_thr_p.a
 libffi.dylib
 }}}

 It seams that only the library with the .dylib extension also have the
 `-ghc7.10.2` suffix in the file name. So, is this an issue with ghc, MacOS
 X or Nix?

 Best,
 Sven
