So if I understand correctly, the problem here arises because you can't import from a DLL by *absolute path* but only by *relative path*? The tragedy here is that the Windows loader actually supports loading from absolute paths natively, as an undocumented feature. If you build a EXE and then hexedit the references to "library.dll" to absolute paths "C:\library.dll" then your EXE will run completely correctly. I'm not sure how to convince GNU ld to link us such a DLL, though. It might be possible to hack it in by linking against "verylongdummydllname.dll" and then having GHC search for that string in DLL/EXE returned by LD and replace it by the null-terminated absolute path.
