package cc and ld opts inconsistent

I try to create a package which passes
"--subsystem windows"
to the linker. As far as I understand it should be ok to have
extra_ld_opts = ["--subsystem windows"]
or, as ghc itself does it
extra_ld_opts = ["--subsystem", "windows"]
in the package description. However these flags are not 
given to the linker. I tried
extra_cc_opts = ["-Wl,--subsystem", "-Wl,windows"]
but these flags are not passed to the C compiler either.
I finally succeeded with
extra_ld_opts = ["-Wl,--subsystem", "-Wl,windows"]
which I suspect fails when compiling with the native code 
generator.

I am using the MSI of ghc 5.04.2.

Axel.
