Hi Andrew, thank you for the write-up. There are some good hints in there for how to make the documentation better. If you had used `BuildFlavour = stage2`, as the Newcomers page suggests, you'd have had some less trouble. I'll go and edit the HowtomakeGHCbuildquickly section, because it is outdated.
> From the Newcomers page, it’s not quite clear exactly how to make it only build Stage 2, even though it suggests doing so. The newcomers page says: - ## edit build.mk to remove the comment marker # on the line stage=2 - To speed up the development cycle, the final edit of build.mk makes sure that only the stage-2 compiler will be rebuild after this (see here about stages). Maybe you missed the comment about editing build.mk? Can you make suggestions how to make this more clear? I added some whitespace, but I'm not sure that's enough.
