I would like to write a Haskell pretty-printer,
using standard libraries for that. How can I
check if the original and the pretty-printed

a file generated by GHC at the compilation

same MD5 hash when it comes from equivalent
source?
Compare .hi files?
You an also compare the resulting object files
On ELF systems (the majority) you have to watch out for the timestamp
in the ELF header. I know there is code in the gcc source that does
object comparisons to verify that stage3 builds match stage2, omitting
the header.
