Put the ghc-options in the executable stanza, since that's what you're
trying to build.

Yep, that's the intended behavior.  The sanity checker has noticed
that you put the ghc-options field in the first stanza, for the
library, but since there aren't any exposed modules, there is no
library to build, so it complains.

The solution is to move the GHC-Options field to the executable
stanza.
