Comment (by alpmestan):

 We could perhaps add a flag? We already have

 {{{
   --integer-simple            Build GHC with integer-simple library.
 }}}

 after all, where we're using integer-gmp (currently assuming system wide
 libgmp if I'm not mistaken?) as a default, when this flag is not given. We
 could instead perhaps have:

 {{{
   --integer-simple
   --system-gmp
   --in-tree-gmp
 }}}

 with `--system-gmp` being the default? The last two would imply the use of
 integer-gmp, of course.
