Comment (by nomeata):

 There is one curious spot left, in `SysTools`
 {{{
            tntc_gcc_args
             | mkTablesNextToCode targetUnregisterised
                = ["-DTABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE"]
             | otherwise = []
            cpp_args= map Option (words cpp_args_str)
            gcc_args = map Option (words gcc_args_str
                                ++ unreg_gcc_args
                                ++ tntc_gcc_args)
 }}}
 This sets the default C arguments based on the initial settings (not the
 dynflags). I am wondering if anything actually relies on GHC setting the
 flag here, especially since `/usr/lib/ghc/include/ghcautoconf.h`, included
 by various header files, _also_ sets `TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE`.

 I guess I should just try it out.
