Thank you very much ;-)

Did you symlink libgpc.so -> libgpc.so.2 (or whatever the exact libname is) ?

I played with a shared RTS library in some pre-2.0 beta's but decided not to
put it in the 2.0 release because it would require libgpc.so to be distributed
with all GPC compiled programs and I feared confusion. Assuming you don't have
one of these beta's (they had 96XXXX version numbers), my guess is that the
Debian maintainer <clameter@debian.org> decided to put this feature back in.
Maybe you should ask him.

No, -static would search for a (nonexisting) libgpc.a

If all else fails, you may have to link
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/libgpc.a -> /usr/lib/libgpc.so.2, but
that's very cruel :-(

Happy hacking,
