I don't think it has changed. My guess is that you used --make
previously but have just forgotten that that's what you did.

In batch mode (as opposed to --make mode) ghc has only ever linked in
the rts, base and haskell98 packages, all others have to be specified
manually (or use --make mode).

Certainly it's annoying that when not in --make mode it does not report
that packages are missing at link time and just gives us linker errors.
However that is the way it has always been (since at least ghc-4.x).
