It allows to set various runtime parameters. In this case:
    
-A<size> Sets the minimum allocation area size (default 256k) Egs: -A1m -A10k
-k<size> Sets the initial thread stack size (default 1k)  Egs: -k4k -k2m

If you run a GHC compiled program with +RTS -?, it will show you a help
message.

Best regards,
Tom
