Even on Linux/NixOS, it can be useful to have a compiler without the large address space as it creates issues in some contexts.

Motivation for this change
Even on Linux/NixOS, it can be useful to have a compiler without the large address space as it creates issues in some contexts (e.g., http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Issues-with-the-large-address-space-allocator-and-HPC-systems-with-resource-limits-td5878939.html)
So, this PR makes the setting configurable.
