Comment:

 the flag -C is only for unregisterized GHC builds, ie when you've built
 GHC using -f-viaC  (-f-viaC is still used in GHC to support targets like
 PPC64 and other archs we don't have a native code gen for, like MIP i
 believe).

 It won't work with standard GHC builds on x86_64 that are registerized and
 use the native codegen.

 closing this for now.

 what was the goal of using -C ?
