Thanks for bringing this up. I've been having the same problem and was
thinking there was something wrong with my system. I have 3 main files
and one util that they all import. Every build recompiles every file,
even if there were no changes.

Hi,
We have a project with around 200 Haskell source files, and around 20
executables which import these (as well as importing third-party
libraries). We first build all the non-main files using a makefile
generated with ghc -M. We then build the executables using a separate
invocation of "ghc --make --main-is foo.hs", for each foo.hs. This
worked fine with ghc-7.2.1; each final "ghc --make" would simply link
the pre-built object files -- but with ghc-7.4.1 all these files are
recompiled for each target executable. As a result our full build
takes around 10-20x longer with ghc-7.4.1 than ghc-7.2.1.
Looking at compiler/iface/FlagChecker.hs, it seems that the --main-is
flag is used as an input to the recompilation checker. It would make
sense that --main-is should force recompilation of the particular file
that exports 'main', but it also forces recompilation of its
dependencies. Is this a bug or is there a good reason to recompile
everything?
Conrad.
