What Reid said is correct. I just changed validate back to use V=1 though, since it seems like a better default. From https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Design/BuildSystem: The build system should clearly report what it's doing (and sometimes why), without being too verbose. It should emit

Fantastic, thanks. Might you add info on what “validate” understands to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TestingPatches? And ditto the V flags to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Hacking Simon From: Thomas Miedema [mailto:thomasmied...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 July 2015 22:33

Oh yes, I keep forgetting that. So many variables.. How about we remove the possibility to set CPUS, and only keep THREADS (but still set it to the number of processors+1 by default). On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 12:14 AM, Ian Lynagh ig...@earth.li wrote: On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 11:32:55PM +0200,
