Hi Andrew, thank you for the write-up. There are some good hints in there for how to make the documentation better. If you had used `BuildFlavour = stage2`, as the Newcomers page suggests, you'd have had some less trouble. I'll go and edit the HowtomakeGHCbuildquickly section, because it is outdated.
From the Newcomers page, it’s not quite clear exactly how to make it only build Stage 2, even though it suggests doing so.
The newcomers page says: - ## edit build.mk to remove the comment marker # on the line stage=2 - To speed up the development cycle, the final edit of build.mk makes sure that only the stage-2 compiler will be rebuild after this (see here about stages). Maybe you missed the comment about editing build.mk? Can you make suggestions how to make this more clear? I added some whitespace, but I'm not sure that's enough. Thanks, Thomas
