Comment (by bgamari):

 > Perhaps a dumb question: What's wrong with using -optc?

 It very well may break other stubs, who expect to be compiled with a C
 compiler (and therefore will break with C++ name mangling). These users
 include GHC itself, which uses C stubs for static pointers and profiler
 initialization.
