Dynamic GHCi doesn't support static libraries

Running

ghci -L/opt/local/lib -latlas

eventually leads to

Loading object (static archive) /opt/local/lib/libatlas.a ... ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.8.3 for x86_64-apple-darwin):
	Loading archives not supported

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

This looks similar to 8164 and 4828, which are marked closed.

Mac OSX 10.9.4 Xcode 5.1.1
