Comment:
GHC `--make` caches interface files as it compiles (which is why `--make`
is faster than separate compilations), so it is perfectly normal for its
memory usage to increase during the course of compiling a large set of
modules. We looked into it briefly for 6.8.1 and concluded that there was
nothing excessive going on. There are always improvements that can be
made, but we don't believe there's an actual space leak here.
