ghci attempts to link entire package

Related to some of the problems Takusen users have had, I have a
question about ghci's linker/loader: why does it appear to try to link
an entire package archive, rather than just the modules that are used?
This is in contrast to the GNU ld program which the compiler uses, which
only tries to link modules which are actually used.

Is this a feature or a bug?
