ghc --make and static libraries

How do I go about linking to a static library when using --make? If i do ghc --make Module libmodulelib.a then ghc syas: chasing modules from Module,libmodulelib.a and complains about not being able to find the _module_ modulelib.a. Likewise on windows, if I do ghc --make Module modulelib.dll it also complains about not finding the _module_ modulelib.dll. If I specify the object files that makes up modulelib then there are no complaints, likewise, if I link without --make, ghc uses the library just fine. Is this the intended behaviour, and if it is, how do I go about linking with libraries when using --make? Regards, Martin
