After a bit of googling, I came to the conclusion that I needed to compile it with "ghc --make -static -optl-static Foo.hs".  Using only "-static" or "-optl-static" by themselves did not generate a statically linked binary.  But when I compile with both those parameters I get a bunch of linker errors:  [..] (.text+0x59c): undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'

For some reason, GHC doesn't link with the pthreads library, so you need to compile (link) with two options: -opt-static -optl-pthread

Excellent, that appears to have solved my problem. It still gives me the warning: (.text+0x3068): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking But glibc is pretty standard, so I don't think this will be a problem for me. Thanks for the help.
