teo (they/he)	The Haskell libs come from relative paths and that apparently complicates the patchelf stuff somehow	16:13:43
MangoIV	HLS. Just let cabal solve it, maybe use something like francescos thing	16:14:06
MangoIV	Basically excempt the annoying things from the package set and just let cabal solve for them and install the static binary	16:15:41
MangoIV	Then you build one per GHC and that’s it.	16:15:57
teo (they/he)	Isn't there a thing about how GHC/HLS can't be statically linked	16:16:20
MangoIV	Oh I mean Haskell static linking?	16:16:37
MangoIV	Fwiw it’s not important. I basically just mean, cut off the binary so the closure isn’t huge	16:17:27
maralorn	Yeah, no. Not possible if you want to support TH.	16:17:51
