why should this flag be passed to cpp when invoked on HS files? It'd be easy to expose another field in the settings file for this other invokecation.. though i should look more closely at the use site before opinining :)

What i'm hearing you say is we actually need TWO sets of CPP flags, one

wheres this hardcoding?

DriverPipeline.hs -- grep for "assembler-with-cpp" and you will find it.

IMHO best would be to move this "-x assembler-with-cpp" into the hs-cpp-flags managed by configure. This way it may be even possible to use system supplied plain cpp instead of cpp builtinto GNU C.
