 ### Resetting the build
 
 To reset the new build system run the build script with `-B` flag. This will force Shake to rerun all rules, even if the results of the previous build are still in the GHC tree. This is a temporary solution; we are working on a proper reset functionality (see [#32](https://github.com/snowleopard/shaking-up-ghc/issues/32)).
