curl dependency in conjunction with Template Haskell causes "unknown symbol" errors
I've reported on this issue to the stack issue tracker here https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/2752#issuecomment-257378515
The steps to reproduce are the following
- Make a new stack project (lts-5.3 in my case). stack new curl-test -resolver=lts-5,3
- Add curl as a dependency to the library.
- Modify the Lib file to the following
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module Lib where
return []
someFunc :: IO ()
someFunc = return ()The error that I get with GHC 8 is this

This is happening on two Windows 10 machines so it's not an isolated case.
