Btw, you write
This way you can still hack on GHC with Emacs, etc, but you are just building from the docker container.
...does that mean you can't invoke `make` directly from within Emacs via `M-x haskell-compile`?
I'm confused by this. Is it possible to compile ghc with haskell-compile (e.g. cabal build)? Or did you simply mean 'compile (e.g. `make` as you said). When I use haskell-compile I get errors[0] whereas make builds cleanly. For what it's worth, I usually have a very easy time setting up and building ghc. Navigating and testing the code is a bit more difficult for me. The tricky part was remembering to update my build.mk to compile stage 2 only after the initial make.
