The recent version, 3.77, of gmake seems to be a bit too clever (or maybe too stupid) for GHC's device of not updating a .hi file which is identical to the last one generated. It appears to me as if gmake is saving on a call to fstat by assuming that .hi has been updated even if it hasn't, and so it launches a totally unnecessary series of compilations. Has anyone got any ideas about how to prevent this, short of not using gmake 3.77?
