ghc --make: allow passign .cmm, .c and .hs files in one command line
TL;DR: Allow users to make one run:
$ ghc --make Test.hs TestPrim.hs test-prims.cmm -o t
instead of series:
$ ghc -c test-prims.cmm
$ ghc --make test-prims.o Test.hs TestPrim.hs
The buildable example is located at: https://github.com/trofi/cmm-example
I'll just quote my email sent to ghc-devs@ a while ago:
> Hi guys!
>
> Today I've tried to write a minimal [1] test case for ghc on ia64
> (it SIGSEGVs there).
>
> The test case consists of a .cmm and some .hs modues.
>
> I tried to build them in one run as:
> $ ghc --make Test.hs TestPrim.hs test-prims.cmm -o t
> ghc: cannot compile this file to desired target: test-prims.cmm
> Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
>
> Thus had to use
> ${GHC} -c test-prims.cmm
> ${GHC} --make test-prims.o Test.hs TestPrim.hs
>
> What do you think of allowing to use .c, .cmm and similar
> files along with .hs files to make one-shot builds a bit easier?
>
> If noone is opposed I'll fill a request on bugtracker.

> Thanks!
