I think that changes the gcc cabal uses to compile C code, but does not
affect how ghc invokes cpp. Or put otherwise, there are too many ways that
a C compiler can be dragged into the build pipeline (building C code
explicitly [via cabal or via ghc foo.c, two different cases], wrapped FFI
calls in ghc, -fvia-C, CPP, ...).
