Is there any way to specify at compile/link time default options for GHC program +RTS options?

No. This is a long-standing feature request. It makes perfect sense, but needs someone to design and implement it. So far not enough people have yelled loudly enough for us to do it. Any volunteers?

But there *is* a way to do this, and it's documented: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/runtime-control. html#rts-hooks Cheers, Simon
