Since we're talking about updating the documentation, I would like to
note that the identifuer "GhcRtsWays" is not present at all, anywhere
in the GHC tree :-).

I do however notice that the debug way is built by default.

I was also able to build a ghc-stage2 with the debug RTS by adding
"-debug" to GhcStage2HcOpts in mk/build.mk.

Cheers,
Erik
