Try doing a cabal clean? Also are you setting that for an executable or a library? Only makes sense on an executable

I need to change some runtime options.

I updated the options line in my cabal file:
  ghc-options:         -Wall -fno-warn-orphans -O2 -rtsopts

But when I rebuild and run, it's as though runtime options are still disabled.

C:\johan\Haskell\projects\bio-acai>cabal build

acai.exe: Most RTS options are disabled. Link with -rtsopts to enable them.

My best guess is that the "ghc-options" line is the wrong place to try to turn on RTS option handling. But what's the right one?
