You can, `cabal build --ghc-options= "-fforce-recomp -ddump-simpl -O"` should work (though it applies to all packages).

and remember all the fields that need to be set. (

`cabal init` is your friend. That said, there are very little fields to be set for minimal package, `cabal-version, name, version` and the library pragma with `build-depends` and `exposed-modules`. After you have done such package few times, you will remember those easily. I'd argue a lot more easily that remembering how to use `cabal install --lib` properly. - Oleg
