passing an option to gcc without a -

[Hal Daume III]

I'm linking with a .a file built from C; when I do this on a C program I
do something like:

  gcc myfile.c -o myout theafile.a

so i tried

  ghc MyFile.hs -o myout -optctheafile.a

but this doesn't appear to pass the paramter.  when i run with -v3 and
inspect the call to gcc it doesn't include this option.  if i copy that
call to gcc and add it maually at the command line, everything's cool

thoughts?
