[Haskell] GHC: Setting default +RTS options at compile time?

[Andreas Marth]

I had the same question quite some time ago and got an answe from Simon
Marlow. You may search for that. Or you can use the attached file.

Have fun,
Andreas

PS: You first compile RTSHooks.c and than your other Haskell files plus
RTSHooks.o. Eg. ghc --make Main.hs RTSHooks.o
