Strictly speaking, <option>-main-is</option> is not a link-phase flag at all; it has no effect on the link step.
The flag must be specified when compiling the module containing the specified main function (e.g. module <literal>A</literal>
in the latter two items above). It has no effect for other modules,
and hence can safely be given to <literal>ghc --make</literal>.
