In case it is not obvious from what other people have said, way back  
in the days of ghc-6.2, you got -fvia-C by default, whether it was  
specified on the command-line or not.  To override via-C, you needed  
to explicitly choose the opposite (-fasm).  With more recent versions  
of the compiler, the default flipped over to -fasm.
