It seems a shame that it would be so difficult to maintain a separate GHC
branch. Having no long-term branches myself, I haven't yet felt the pain, but
reading this email chain I am rather discouraged from attempting it.
It makes sense to me to have tool support for branching and merging in a l

Hello,
Thanks for all your responses (and the --skip-conflicts tip)! I use
git for a lot of my development, so I was hoping that I was just
experiencing "culture shock" and simply doing things with the wrong
mind-set. Given the responses though, it sounds like this is a well
known problem with d

Not AFAIK. One thing that would probably help a lot is if
GHC-generated code stopped causing the linker to
The bottleneck for building on my multi-core machine is ld, which spends a considerable time consuming 100% of one core
after ghc has finished generating object files. Moreover, GHC is largely IO bound, while ld is CPU bound; incremental
linking would enable the two tasks to be performed in paral
