Hi guys!

Today I've tried to write a minimal [1] test case for ghc on ia64 (it SIGSEGVs there).

The test case consists of a .cmm and some .hs modues.

I tried to build them in one run as: $ ghc --make Test.hs TestPrim.hs test-prims.cmm -o t ghc: cannot compile this file to desired target: test-prims.cmm Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

Thus had to use ${GHC} -c test-prims.cmm ${GHC} --make test-prims.o Test.hs TestPrim.hs

What do you think of allowing to use .c, .cmm and similar files along with .hs files to make one-shot builds a bit easier?

If noone is opposed I'll fill a request on bugtracker.

Thanks!
