+-- Note [Dynamic linking on macOS]
+-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+--
+-- Since macOS Sierra (10.14), the dynamic system linker enforces
+-- a limit on the Load Commands. Specifically the Load Command Size
+-- Limit is at 32K (32768). The Load Commands contain the install
+-- name, dependencies, runpaths, and a few other commands. We however
+-- only have control over the install name, dependencies and runpaths.
+--
+-- The install name is the name by which this library will be
+-- referenced. This is such that we do not need to bake in the full
+-- absolute location of the library, and can move the library around.
+--
+-- The dependency commands contain the install names from of referenced
+-- libraries. Thus if a libraries install name is @rpath/libHS...dylib,
+-- that will end up as the dependency.
+--
+-- Finally we have the runpaths, which informs the linker about the
+-- directories to search for the referenced dependencies.
+--
+-- The system linker can do recursive linking, however using only the
+-- direct dependencies conflicts with ghc's ability to inline across
+-- packages, and as such would end up with unresolved symbols.
+--
+-- Thus we will pass the full dependency closure to the linker, and then
+-- ask the linker to remove any unused dynamic libraries (-dead_strip_dylibs).
+--
+-- We still need to add the relevant runpaths, for the dynamic linker to
+-- lookup the referenced libraries though. The linker (ld64) does not
+-- have any option to dead strip runpaths; which makes sense as runpaths
+-- can be used for dependencies of dependencies as well.
+--
+-- The solution we then take in GHC is to not pass any runpaths to the
+-- linker at link time, but inject them after the linking. For this to
+-- work we'll need to ask the linker to create enough space in the header
+-- to add more runpaths after the linking (-headerpad 8000).
+--
+-- After the library has been linked by $LD (usually ld64), we will use
+-- otool to inspect the libraries left over after dead stripping, compute
+-- the relevant runpaths, and inject them into the linked product using
+-- the install_name_tool command.
+--
+-- This strategy should produce the smallest possible set of load commands
+-- while still retaining some form of relocatability via runpaths.
+--
+-- The only way I can see to reduce the load command size further would be
+-- by shortening the library names, or start putting libraries into the same
+-- folders, such that one runpath would be sufficient for multiple/all
+-- libraries.
