Adding these symbols to the Linker's symbol table should be enough. I'm puzzled why that didn't work. Are you sure you were linking the modified version of the RTS with the GHCi binary?
Hi Simon, Looks like a user error -- I just added the extra symbols to Linker.c's SymX table again, and this time it worked fine. Now we've got additional problems about re-loading packages which are already loaded by GHCi, but that's another problem. I suspect Don will be committing some changes to GHC to help with that. -- % Andre Pang : trust.in.love.to.save
