Comment(by guest):
I was under the impression this is an easy change for GHC.
This would be a much harder change for Cabal as Cabal would have to figure
out all the right flags to pass to GCC to match GHC.
It certainly raises the question, why does Cabal pass .c files to GHC? I
think if you're going to pass .m files directly to gcc then .c files
should be passed directly to gcc also so that things are built/handled
consistently.
To get a feeling of how hard it would be to get Cabal to support this, see
this ticket that is over 3 years old:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/229
This would also be a nice feature for people who aren't using Cabal at
all.
