Comment(by guest):

 I feel like the solution here was a bit overzealous. Now we have to
 compile things with -rtsopts just to turn on basic things like -N which
 should be reasonably safe.

 Can we perhaps back this off to the point of requiring -rtsopts in order
 to set filepaths for profiling output, but allow other RTS options by
 default?
