Comment:
Not as much work can be shared as you might expect. For example, when
compiling for profiling, there are profiling annotations sprinkled
throughout the code before the optimiser is run. Also, the .hi files for
modules imported for different ways may have different unfoldings which
get inlined. I don't think that enough could be shared that it would be
worth the extra complexity.
There was discussion elsewhere about generating the same code for the
"normal" and "dynamic" ways, to help with making ghci use dynamic
libraries, but that's a relatively simple special case.
