Re: ghc-7.4.1-rc1 recompilation checking

Hi,

full recompilation with ghc-7.4.1-rc1 is already triggered by a changed "-o" option, which is inconvenient when creating different binaries with shared modules. (see below)

It is no problem if I always omit the -o option and get binaries named like my input file, though.

Can/should this behaviour of ghc-7.4 be relaxed?

Cheers Christian

Good catch - I'll get a fix for this into 7.4.1. Cheers, Simon
