Comment (by simonpj):

 > The approach that SPJ and I would like to take is to replace this step
 with a new one that generates hi-boot files from hs files.

 Really?  Everything that follows appears to follow a different plan:
 compile the modules of a mutually recursive group of modules all together,
 as if they were one big module.  Which makes sense.

 I don't get the bit about generating hi-boot files.
