Re: use Hadrian to see if compiler compiles?
My recommendation: ./hadrian/ghci. The first time you run it, it may spin for a little while, but it will eventually deliver you to a GHCi prompt, with all of GHC loaded. (You can e.g. `:type splitTyConApp_maybe`, after `import GHC.Core.Type`.) At that point, :reload will be your dear friend. That's what I do when I'm doing e.g. module reorganization and care much more about "does it compile" than "does it work".

use Hadrian to see if compiler compiles?
I'm currently doing some refactoring of the GHC sources, which involves moving definitions between modules. As a sanity check I want to compile often, so if I've broken anything (or have inadvertently created circular imports) I can find out quickly. I'm currently using ./hadrian/build -j but I really don't need to build libraries or a stage 2 compiler. I tried looking over `./hadrian/build --help`, but I'm not confident that I understand what's there. My best guess is ./hadrian/build -j stage0:lib:ghc Would that accomplish my goal?

And if you have a ' in your function name, the tool barfs because it launches a `grep` command without escaping the ' properly to the shell.
