 When using `ghc --make` to generate a binary, I'm interested to know what
 source files was used. I want that information to tell when to regenerate
 the binary. Yes, I use a `gmake` files to build my binaries even for `ghc`
 generated binaries.

 `gmake` is very convenient and useful as is `ghc --make`, but it is
 difficult to combine these two. For now, I can always call `ghc --make`
 but it takes extra build times. Especially when there are many binaries to
 build.

 I have considered the `-M` flag but it seems to be usable for separate
 compilation only.
