[Haskell-cafe] anyone else driven mad by trying to setup a gmp free version of haskell platform?

i would really like to be able to ship haskell based linux binaries, but the gmp dependency makes it virtually impossible. so what version of host os, host ghc, and haskell-platform sources are known to build a working compiler? any reason why the dependency on gmp is static? are the interfaces between versions actually different? or can we build a version fo the compiler that loads the library via dlopen on demand? Thanks, Anatoly
