extra-libraries, hs-libraries, libHSbase_cbits and dynamic linking

Hi All,
I've run into yet another (non-critical) build system problem related
to dynamic linking.
Libraries that are listed in "hs-libraries" get different versions
according to the current way, while libraries in extra-libraries don't.
The library libHSbase_cbits is in extra_libraries because it's written
entirely in C, so having a separate profiling version is not necessary.
However, it _does_ make sense to have a separate
libHSbase_dyn.[dylib|so]. It would have to be in hs-libraries for that
to work.
Right now, all the 'cbits' libraries will be linked statically even
when -dynamic is specified on the GHC command line. It's not a big
problem because they are small (a total of 92K for _all_ of the cbits
libraries taken together).
Any Advice?
Cheers,
Wolfgang
