-package and -idir in OPTIONS_GHC are ignored, but manual says that they're dynamic
If I put a -package flag in OPTIONS_GHC, GHC ignores it. For example:
test.hs:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -package base #-}
main = putStrLn "hello"
$ ghc --make -hide-all-packages -o test test.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( test.hs, test.o )
test.hs:1:0:
Failed to load interface for `Prelude':
it is a member of package base, which is hidden
It also ignores -idir:
test.hs
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -itestdir #-}
import Foo
main = putStrLn "hello"
testdir/Foo.hs
module Foo where
$ ghc --make test.hs
test.hs:2:7:
Could not find module `Foo':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
The manual says that both -package and -i are dynamic, and that dynamic flags can be set in OPTIONS_GHC.
