I have an exe built by GHC in January 2014 (that's like GHC 7.6), and it 
is still running just fine on the latest Ubuntu. (In fact I have a daily 
cron job that runs it.)

This is a data point for how long GHC default linking can last IRL.

Historically my recollection of the only one breakage event in this 
regard was a libgmp version bump. And that was a bygone era, clearly 
before my vintage 2014 exe.
