Choosing the C toolchain and propagating one are not really related.  I
mean, one C toolchain could be propagated by default, so then GHC works
out-of-the-box.  And the build transformation ’--with-c-toolchain’
should provide the flexibility to use any other C toolchain variant you
want.  Is it not working as expected?


All the best,
simon
