linker fails to load package with binding to foreign library
GHCI is unable to load 'network' package on Windows. The versions:
$ ghci --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.2
$ ghc-pkg list network
c:/mnt/data1/ghc32b\lib\package.conf.d:
network-2.3.0.14
The test code:
import Network
main = withSocketsDo $ do listenOn (PortNumber 3333) -- >>= accept
The failure:
> ghci winsock-load-failure.hs
GHCi, version 7.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

The symbol to be resolved:
$ nm network-2.3.0.14/ghc-7.4.2/HSnetwork-2.3.0.14.o |grep WSACleanup
U __imp__WSACleanup@0
The actual symbol in the foreign library:

The test snippet only works when compiled by ghc (so the resulting binary is produced by ld.bfd).
