Comment (by rwbarton):

 We could add a new "dimension of RTS way" (like threaded, profiling and
 debug) for whether or not to include the interpreter. Note that this
 doesn't affect just ghc itself but also programs that use the ghc library.
 The burden on the end user to select the correct RTS flavor doesn't seem
 worthwhile if the only purpose is to generate a smaller executable.
