[Nix-dev] HaskellNG and taffybar

[Kirill Elagin]

Well, the author of the issue I pointed out is correct in saying that they
use Dyre which in turn uses ghc-paths. I checked ghc-paths and I believe
what they do is store the path to GHC _they were compiled with_.

So errr... Looks like we are stuck in a loop. I guess your best bet is to
patch Dyre not to use ghc-paths.
