#! /usr/bin/env bash ./prog --RTS $*

 ./prog --RTS "$@"

Otherwise it will work wrong if arguments contain quoted field separators (e.g. spaces).

 #! /bin/sh  ./prog --RTS ${1+"$@"}

The longer specification above should work with whatever /bin/sh is around, whether it's Solaris /sbin/sh, FreeBSD's sh, general Linux bash, Debian/Ubuntu dash, etc.

And with Windows, of course :) Haskell is cross-platform, isn't it?

Haskell is a language, it does not have any notion of platform. It has several implementations, which may or may not be cross-platform. (OP asked specifically about ghc, which supports a number of platforms, including Windows.) Here we talk not about ghc itself, but about POSIX shell interpreter, which is available on every POSIX-compliant operating system. Windows (out of the box) lacks implementation of POSIX shell. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/ "Don't let school get in the way of your education." - Mark Twain
