Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Phyx- notes that while there's no obvious workaround for this on GHC 8.2,
 there is on GHC HEAD, where you can manually specify:

 {{{
 $ runghc -licuuc.dll.a Bug2.hs
 }}}

 In theory, this should be equivalent:

 {{{
 $ runghc -llibicuuc.dll.a Bug2.hs
 }}}

 But in practice, GHC doesn't permit this, as there's a case missing in the
 runtime linker code.
