I have a patch from Arthur Baars to build profiling libraries for GHC. I'm wondering how people think it should be integrated? Should we have a --prof option that JUST builds profiling libraries, or which builds both non profiling and profiling? I know that the makefile system has some "ways" that I think are related to profiling. Should we have something more flexible, or is --prof or --with-prof flexible enough?
It would be nice to allow binary package distributors to be able to create foo and foo-prof packages for large libraries easily, rather than having to bundle everything in one or split files out "by hand". This is more important as more variants are supported, obviously. Thanks Ian
