Did you "strip" the executable? Are the functions in question exported
by their module? If you compile the program below, the executable will
have the "unstripped" executable with have the string "secretName", but
it disappears if you "strip" it (GHC option: -optl-s):

    module Main (main) where
    import Data.Maybe
    import System.Environment

    secretName :: [String] -> Maybe Int
    secretName = fmap ((+ 42) . read) . listToMaybe
    {-# NOINLINE secretName #-}

    main :: IO ()
    main = secretName <$> getArgs >>= mapM_ print

Demo:

    $ rm foo.o foo.hi; ghc -O2 foo.hs; strings -a foo | grep secretName
    [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( foo.hs, foo.o )
    Linking foo ...
    Main_secretName_closure
    Main_secretName_info

    $ rm foo.o foo.hi; ghc -optl-s -O2 foo.hs; strings -a foo | grep secretName
    [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( foo.hs, foo.o )
    Linking foo ...
