Is there any particular reason to make this conditional on the operating system?
Placing dynamic libraries in per-package directories is actually a rather severe performance problem in general since the dynamic linker (on Linux at least) performs a linear scan through
RPATHentries when looking for each library. For this reason just runningghc --helpon Linux performs over 750opensystem calls. This was first documented in GHC #11587 and the obvious solution is to move all dynamic libraries into a single directory, just as you've done here.There was a problem hiding this comment.

It was needed to fix OS X given time/manpower constraints. I, however, didn't know whether doing it for all operating systems was something all involved parties could agree on. If you, as GHC maintainer, are saying to do it for all operating systems, and Cabal maintainers agree, then it is an easy fix/patch.

I think that it makes sense if it improves start-up performance.
