Haskell LLVM - Duplicate Functions Created

The problem with LLVM-Haskell bindings is that I get "duplicate" names. I think the best way to explain my problem is with a small concrete example (note that the example is contrived, and for such a small example there are simple ways to get around it ... however it points to my problem).

putc :: TFunction (Int32 -> IO Word32)
putc = newNamedFunction ExternalLinkage "putchar"

simple :: TFunction (Int32 -> IO Word32)
simple = do
    internalputc <- putc
    createNamedFunction ExternalLinkage "simple" $ \x -> do
        call internalputc x
        call internalputc x
        ret (0 :: Word32)

easy :: TFunction (Int32 -> IO Word32)
easy = do 
    internalputc <- putc
    internalsimple <- simple
    createNamedFunction ExternalLinkage "easy" $ \x -> do
        call internalsimple x
        y <- add x (42 :: Int32)
        call internalputc y
        ret (0 :: Word32)

main :: IO ()
main = do
    m <- newNamedModule "Main"
    defineModule m easy
    writeBitcodeToFile "SillyLib" m

If you run this haskell program now (you will need some imported data, such as Data.Int/Word and LLVM.Core), you will get the following result.

; ModuleID = 'SillyLib'

declare i32 @putchar(i32)

declare i32 @putchar1(i32)

define i32 @simple(i32) {
_L1:
  %1 = call i32 @putchar1(i32 %0)
  %2 = call i32 @putchar1(i32 %0)
  ret i32 0
}

define i32 @easy(i32) {
_L1:
  %1 = call i32 @simple(i32 %0)
  %2 = add i32 %0, 42
  %3 = call i32 @putchar(i32 %2)
  ret i32 0
}

The problem is that in IR, the (external) putchar is declared twice, but the second time with the name putchar1. I have common sense why this is so, but not very good for a good general way. That is, I do not want to invest everything in one giant CodeGenModule.
