Yes, it looks like you are missing p_dyn from this list. I think this is a bug in the build system. When I look at ghc.mk it only verifies that the p way is present, not p_dyn; and I don't see any knobs which turn on p_dyn.
However, I must admit to being a little confused; didn't we abandon dynamic by default and switch to only using dynamic for GHCi (in which case the profiling libraries ought not to matter)?
I think Kazu is saying that when he builds something with profiling using cabal-install, it fails because cabal-install tries to build a dynamic version too. We don't want dyanmic/profiled libraries (there's no point, you can't load them into GHCi). Perhaps this is something that needs fixing in cabal-install? Cheers, Simon
