 Currently GHC's build system echos the GHC invocation used to build each C
 source file.  This is incompatible with IDEs like Eclipse, which require
 that the actual C compiler invocation be emitted so they can determine the
 flags being passed to the C compiler.  As a result, code assistance in
 Eclipse is poor.

 This is a feature request for mimicking the build output of a C build.
