GHCi reports unknown symbols in Win32 when linking C and C++ libs

GHCi (win32, v8.0.1) gives strange unknown symbols when being run using a library that interfaces code written in C or C++. Compiled code runs fine.

As an example I use the eigen-2.1.6 package from hackage. However, it should be noted that I get a similar error message when trying to link a package that uses libgsl (gsl has been compiled with the mingw-gcc that ships with haskell-platform).

When I compile the little script from the eigen-manual on hackage

module Main where
  import Data.Eigen.Matrix
  import Data.Eigen.LA

  main = do
    let
        a :: MatrixXd
        a = fromList [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,10]]
        b = fromList [[3],[3],[4]]
        x = solve ColPivHouseholderQR a b
    putStrLn "Here is the matrix A:" >> print a
    putStrLn "Here is the vector b:" >> print b
    putStrLn "The solution is:" >> print x

I get (as expected):

Here is the matrix A:
Matrix 3x3
1.0     2.0     3.0
4.0     5.0     6.0
7.0     8.0     10.0

Here is the vector b:
Matrix 3x1
3.0
3.0
4.0

The solution is:
Matrix 3x1
-2.0
1.0000000000000016
0.9999999999999988

However, when I try to run it in GHCi I get

GHCi, version 8.0.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

I tried the same on OS X using GHCi v8.0.1. There everything works as expected.
