-{- Note [-Bsymbolic and hooks]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Bsymbolic is a flag that prevents the binding of references to global
-symbols to symbols outside the shared library being compiled (see `man
-ld`). When dynamically linking, we don't use -Bsymbolic on the RTS
-package: that is because we want hooks to be overridden by the user,
-we don't want to constrain them to the RTS package.
-
-Unfortunately this seems to have broken somehow on OS X: as a result,
-defaultHooks (in hschooks.c) is not called, which does not initialize
-the GC stats. As a result, this breaks things like `:set +s` in GHCi
-(#8754). As a hacky workaround, we instead call 'defaultHooks'
-directly to initalize the flags in the RTS.
-
-A biproduct of this, I believe, is that hooks are likely broken on OS
-X when dynamically linking. But this probably doesn't affect most
-people since we're linking GHC dynamically, but most things themselves
-link statically.
