I'd like to compile ghc-7.8.2 with DynamicGhcPrograms disabled (on 64-bit linux). I downloaded the source tarball, added

DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = NO

I've had success with setting both DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT = NO DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = NO and removing the 'dyn' way altogether from GhcLibWays by setting GhcLibWays = v explicitely. I expect that the latter is optional; my goal was only to speed up the build. (The lines were copied from the perf-cross settings.) Cheers, Bertram
