That depends on how you define maintainability.

I'm doing a bunch of bug-fixes / improvements to Template Haskell. Two of these
are to fix GHC bugs #8100 (add standalone-deriving support) and #9064 (add
`default` method type signature support), both of which introduce new
constructors for `Dec`. This got me thinking about `Dec` and the fact t

GhcDynamic is really a variable set by the build system which is
propagated and used to control various other 'things that happen'
during the build, in the case GHC is dynamically linked.
On the other hand, DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS and DYNAMIC_BY_D
So out of GhcDynamic, DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS, and DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT, which is
broken, and what's the difference between GhcDynamic and
DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS? This is getting somewhat confusing.

Sorry, I confused 'DynamicGhcPrograms' merely with 'DynamicGhc'. In
other words: DynamicGhc means exactly what I said before - dynamic

As far as I'm aware, Dynamic-by-default GHC is actually broken, and I
don't know for how long this has been the case.
For some history: originally when all this was being decided to try
and fix the linker issues in GHC, dynamic by default was considered an
option, but was rejected in favor of Dyna
I'm trying to build a minimal GHC 7.8.3 on Debian Wheezy with only dynamic

GhcDynamic = YES
