++Note [macOS Big Sur dynamic libraries]
++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
++
++macOS Big Sur makes the following change to how frameworks are shipped
++with the OS:
++
++> New in macOS Big Sur 11 beta, the system ships with a built-in
++> dynamic linker cache of all system-provided libraries.  As part of
++> this change, copies of dynamic libraries are no longer present on
++> the filesystem.  Code that attempts to check for dynamic library
++> presence by looking for a file at a path or enumerating a directory
++> will fail.  Instead, check for library presence by attempting to
++> dlopen() the path, which will correctly check for the library in the
++> cache. (62986286)
++
++(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-big-sur-11_0_1-release-notes/)
++
++Therefore, the previous method of checking whether a library exists
++before attempting to load it makes GHC.Runtime.Linker.loadFramework
++fail to find frameworks installed at /System/Library/Frameworks.
++Instead, any attempt to load a framework at runtime, such as by
++passing -framework OpenGL to runghc or running code loading such a
++framework with GHCi, fails with a 'not found' message.
++
++GHC.Runtime.Linker.loadFramework now opportunistically loads the
++framework libraries without checking for their existence first,
++failing only if all attempts to load a given framework from any of the
++various possible locations fail.  See also #18446, which this change
++addresses.
