Can you advise whether it’s currently possible to do sandboxed static builds at all? The issue I’m running into is that Cabal won’t install sandboxed dependencies if it sees that the corresponding packages are already registered within the global package DB; the build will proceed but will then error out during static linking. It’s possible to force Cabal/GHC to ignore the global package database altogether, but this won’t help much since it will cause the boot libraries to be ignored as well.
