Haskell and static linking of modules?

Question

Haskell

Has anyone managed to statically link modules like Regex.PCRE or Graphics.UI.WX? In the case of wxHaskell, the program itself turns out to be 15 megabytes, plus you need to carry a 10 MB library with it. A similar program in C++ will weigh only 1-2 MB ( ten times less!), so I would really like to "lose excess weight." I use GHC, tried various flags, googled - nothing helped.

In the new cabal and stack, you can use the GHC flag --split-sections(or the corresponding fields in the project configs).
Moderately old GHCs have an outdated counterpart - split-objs.
