Well, looking at the makefile it becomes clear, that it must do so. ------------------------------------- # Make DerivedConstants.h for the compiler

Since ghcautoconf.h is new this triggers update for mkDerivedConstants.c which in turn updates mkDerivedConstantsHdr which in turn updates DerivedConstants.h. I guess I should also touch the mkDerivedConstants.c to avoid the updates. Am I correct?
Duh, sorry about that. The full list of things you need to touch are: $ touch ghcautoconf.h DerivedConstants.h GHCConstants.h mkDerivedConstants.c mkDerivedConstantsHdr mkDerivedConstants.o mkGHCConstants mkGHCConstants.o I must have avoided making in ghc/includes when I did the bootstrap myself. Thanks for highlighting the problem. Cheers, Simon
