        <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Apparently 'sh validate' now uses Hadrian.
This has broken one of my workflows:

  *   build the stage1 compiler
  *   cd testsuite/tests
  *   make stage=1

That is, run the testsuite with the stage-1 compile.  (This often produces a small test case for a compiler crash, much easier than debugging GHC compiling itself.)
How do I do this?

I suspect (but have not tested) that you can accomplish this with

    hadrian/build.cabal.sh --flavor=validate --build-root=_buildvalidate  --test-compiler=_buildvalidate/stage0/bin/ghc

Although I'll admit  this is far from convenient. If you weren't using
the `validate` script this would just be

    hadrian/build.cabal.sh --test-compiler=_build/stage0/bin/ghc

Cheers,
