Not possible to build debug + prof, oversight or expected?
I just realized GHC 8.4.2 doesn't ship a debug + prof RTS, and HEAD doesn't build it with release build (no build.mk) or with prof flavor. It seems to me that this is a bug, because some debug files in RTS (e.g. Printer.c) actually check PROFILING macro in a few places and print different stuff depending on that. Anyone know if this is intentional? It's really inconvenient that I can't use debug runtime to debug profiling build issues.. (I also realized that we dont' generate .sos for some ways, which means -dynamic is also don't combine with e.g. -prof) Thanks Ömer

Hmm, it sounds like a bug. I see debug_p in mk/ways.mk. It looks like it's missing from GhcRTSWays, however (defined in mk/config.mk). Cheers, - Ben
