Comment (by simonmar):

 To my mind this is stalled not just due to lack of effort, but there's
 some design work to be done - mainly around how distributions, and how
 Cabal and cabal-install will work with shared libraries.  See my list of
 questions above
 ([http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1876#comment:11]) for a
 start.

 The other thing that worries me is that without having support for fixed
 ABIs, we could have more problems with shared libraries, since when
 someone reinstalls a library they will break not only dependent packages,
 but also existing dynamically-linked binaries.
