The documentation already advises newcomers to only rebuild GHC itself; I've updated it to use the symbolic stage2:exe:ghc-bin notation though instead of the actual filename (_build/stage1/bin/ghc), assuming that the former will work even when building in a different directory. I've also added a link to the Hadrian README, which should provide enough hints to the rest of the Hadrian documentation.
The simple notation is just a shorthand for the right path under whatever build root is used (_build by default, or the value of --build-root when it is passed), so it will indeed be mapped to the right concrete target regardless of the build root. -- Alp Mestanogullari, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, https://www.well-typed.com/ Registered in England and Wales, OC335890 118 Wymering Mansions, Wymering Road, London, W9 2NF, England
