Was the GHC 6.12.1 for Snow Leopard compiled with --enable-shared?

It seems it wasn't. I just tried to install a cabal package passing the --enable-shared switch, and got the error

     Failed to load interface for `Prelude':

     Perhaps you haven't installed the "dyn" libraries for package `base'?
which I believe means this GHC cannot build shared objects.

Am I right about this? I hope not; the ability build shared objects is one of the key features of 6.12.
