 With -O0, the attached code prints:

 {{{
...
/usr/local/ghc/ghc-8.4.1.0/bin/ghc -O0 src/foo.hs; and ./src/foo
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( src/foo.hs, src/foo.o )
 [Optimisation flags changed]
 Linking src/foo ...
 ("exec",0)
 ("depth",0)
 ("exec",1)
 ("depth",0)
 }}}
But with -O1, it prints:

 {{{
...
/usr/local/ghc/ghc-8.4.1.0/bin/ghc -O1 src/foo.hs; and ./src/foo
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( src/foo.hs, src/foo.o )
 Linking src/foo ...
 ("depth",0)
 ("depth",0)
 }}}
Reproduced with 8.4.1 and 8.6.2. Doesn't seem to happen under 8.2.0
