This is how GHC builds. You might consider filing a bug w/GHC.

This is more of a GHC issue. But, as you saw in the warning, -fvia-C
is going away, at least for normal usage. (It will be retained for
bootstrapping, and in that case be an 'unregisterised' build, which is
slower, but works with stock C compilers, and hence will work as Apple
moves to clang/llvm, away from gcc.)
