Supporting echoing the C compiler invocation instead of the GHC invocation when building the RTS

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.
