Actually, could you generalize this a bit (if you're considering it) and allow global replacement of ".o" instead? Something like --o-postfix=o would be the default and Ketil could get what he wants by --o-postfix=p.o The reason I suggest this is because I often maintain both Sparc Solaris and x86 Linux builds of my programs and basically have to keep two separate directory structures to house them. With this, I could simply point my solaris ghc to do --o-postfix=s.o and my linux ghc to do --o-postfix=l.o or something. - Hal -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | hdaume@isi.edu than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume On 10 May 2002, Ketil Z.

Re the current and recurring conflicts between profiling and non-profiling code; how hard would it be to name GHC's output files differently when compiling with -prof?
I.e. without, you get the normal foo.hs -> foo.o result, but with -prof you could get e.g. foo.po or foo.p.o instead? (And of course, linking these instead when making the executable)
I can probably hack this in a makefile, but it'd be nice to be able to just ghc --make as well.
