[Haskell-cafe] cabal repl fails with GHC 7.8.2

I have a package for which "cabal repl" works fine with cabal version 1.20 and GHC 7.6.3. The package has a lot of FFI bindings and uses hsc2hs, so getting a REPL without "cabal repl" is a pain. The package also comes with the C sources that get linked in. But with GHC 7.8.2, "cabal repl" fails with: Loading object (static) dist/build/decnumber/src/decDouble.o ... /usr/bin/ld: dist/build/decnumber/src/decDouble.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `DPD2BIN' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC Any idea on how to fix this? "cabal build" and "cabal install" work fine and I can even build and execute a test binary against the library. It seems the problem is just with "cabal repl". Thanks. Omari
