build failure when linking application statically

[zoranbosnjak]

I am trying to include formatting to the project and create statically linked binary. It works fine for many other libs (not all), but the build fails when formatting is included to the cabal file.

Here is a simple hello world application to reproduce the problem:

git clone -b with-formatting https://github.com/zoranbosnjak/staticbuild.git
cd staticbuild/
nix-build --arg static true -j auto

The error is:

...

         /nix/store/n4ssgf7bj9mmf4dikd9h84bdb50zmy9y-proj-0.1.0-doc

Is there any simple way to workaround the problem?
