Opening this issue as an alert to anyone on github that appears to be using my ghc port.

Ghc and cabal are now upstreamed for x86_64 on alpine linux edge. Ghc requires alpine linux 3.5 or higher to run. But otherwise the upstreamed package is the same as my old port. With a caveat that the profiled ghc libraries are now in a sub package named ghc-dev.

Either add the edge testing repository to /etc/apk/repositories, or alternatively you may install ghc/cabal via:

# apk --no-cache add --repository http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing ghc ghc-dev cabal

For an up to date list of what is ported and where reference this search:
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=&branch=&repo=&arch=&maintainer=Mitch+Tishmack

Note to build static binaries with ghc and musl libc with alpine linux, you only need to add to the ld-options for any executable in the .cabal file. The c runtime changes in this repo are unnecessary and will only increase the final binary size.

Example sed to update the .cabal file:

sed -i '/Executable .*/a \ \ ld-options: -static' package.cabal

Also note, I also ported upx to alpine edge, so you can also add upx from the edge testing repo if you want to test and validate that as well. Note however, upx does NOT compress dynamic musl binaries however, this is a upx limitation not the ports.
