Comment (by bgamari):

 Frankly, I've been surprised by the converse of this bug: GHC doesn't
 recompile when I request different optimization options. I can see the
 argument for a "go fast" mode, which uses any existing build products to
 avoid recompilation if at all possible, but it's not clear to me that this
 should be the default behavior.
