In 2d2650bf and subsequent commits (between 7.6 and 7.8) these settings fields became "C compiler link flags" and "ld flags". (I think, more or less.)

The real problem is that Cabal still looks for the settings fields "Gcc Linker flags" and "Ld Linker flags". I guess this should be updated on the Cabal side though. (They are empty on at least Linux x86_64, which I guess is why nobody noticed before.)
