Work around the "can't use natural in base" problem on a per-flavour basis #676

Closed alpmestan closed 6 years ago

alpmestan commented 6 years ago

The only flavours that need the workaround are the ones that build GHC/{Natural, Num}.hs with -O0, namely 'quick', 'quickest' and 'prof'. This patches defines the necessary arguments in one place and uses them in all the aforementionned flavour definitions.

This will allow us to have both quick/quickest/prof builds that come through as well as an efficient compiler when we want it (with e.g perf), which wasn't the case before my series of patches for this problem.
