You need to call ghc yourself instead of `xmonad --recompile', once
you've built the xmonad library with profiling (as Don outlined). xmonad
calls ghc for you with more or less:

 ghc --make xmonad.hs -i -ilib -fforce-recomp -v0 -o ~/.xmonad/xmonad-$arch-$os

And `xmonad --recompile' doesn't listen to any additional flags. So
you'll have to call ghc yourself, and make sure that you directly run
your compiled config with appropriate flags for the RTS.
