Comment:

 I think you're saying that Cabal doesn't tell GHC to use the `cc-options`
 when assembling, and that Cabal has no `as-options`?

 I don't think that we want to change the GHC interface, so this would need
 to be fixed on the Cabal side. The Cabal bug tracker is here:
 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues

 In any case, I still don't think we want to do direct `.c` to `.o`
 compilation, which is what this ticket is about.
