             [..] The -xc option, which provides backtraces for
             exceptions, requires binaries built for profiling,
             i.e. exactly what the -prof subpackages contain.

             kkofler - 2011-10-15 04:46:12 (karma 0)
             (Now if -prof always required -devel, that was always
             broken.)

Ok, I see I am not familiar with this use case.

But I assume you are building with -package or --make
for this which requires libraries' .conf files which are provided
by the devel subpackages: I think what you want is
an upstream RFE to support dyn, static and prof
libraries separately.  /usr/bin/ghc and ghc-pkg
doesn't really known about the different flavours
of libraries, as far as they are concerned
a library is either installed or not.
I believe there is an upstream bug/rfe/todo
to separate them out but not sure if anyone is
working on this presently.

I don't think ghc does what you want yet though
I am happy to be proven wrong.
