I am following this short tutorial

and trying to compile Webots application (written in C) using GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 7.10.1) with following command:

ghc --make -no-hs-main -optc-O 
-I"/Applications/Webots/include/controller/c/" 
-L"/Applications/Webots/lib/" 
-outputdir build/release/ 
advanced_genetic_algorithm_supervisor.c 
Safe 
-o advanced_genetic_algorithm_supervisor

and getting the following error during the linking phase:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I believe that it means that the compiler cannot find functions ('symbols'), although it managed to pass through compilation process parsing all includes specified in the program using -I path

It means the linker can't find those functions/symbols, because you didn't tell it to link with the Webots library.

You need to add -lsomething, assuming the library file name is /Applications/Webots/lib/libsomething.dylib (or libsomething.a).
