The default GCC compiler in Nixpkgs was recently changed, bringing in a new default C standard (gnu23), which GHC's C backend is not compatible with. This fix adds a flag to force GCC to use an older compatible C standard.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When you get a minute, it would be interesting to check whether upstream has already looked into fixing the C output for later versions of GHC.

This is a good point, as we may want the same fix for some of the Hadrian-based GHCs, which I have not yet looked into. |

All Hadrian versions fail unregisterised, so they too need this fix. However, I will leave that out of this PR. |
