I understand now.

This is managed by Cabal. I see no easy way to rebuild it with -fPIC. Cloning 
the sources from Gitlab and doing the full build would probably be overkill. 

I've mailed Bryan Gardiner, the author of Qtah with a brief description of
what is wrong. I'll do a full bug report, when requested.

Maybe I'll switch to WxHaskell.

Cheers,
Volker
