Seems like pretty solid reasoning. I was unaware of this upcoming change. Can you tell me more about it? Which GHC release is it slated for? 7.12?

Sure, but shouldn't we perhaps just fix GHCi so that it does deal with frameworks properly?

Maintaining a completely separate linker instead of using the system's linker is a fool's errand that leads to things like this and inability to use ghci or TH on ARM, or having to have someone who does nothing but follow all the changes made to every system linker we care about and porting those changes to ghci's custom linker. The correct fix is the upcoming change to have ghci use the system linker. In the meantime, I offered a workaround.
