Comment (by Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@…>):

 In [changeset:"8fd184887e7c240c7089367c6f737fa66cf409fc/ghc" 8fd1848/ghc]:
 {{{

 Retypecheck both before and after finishing hs-boot loops in --make.

 Summary:
 This makes ghc --make's retypecheck behavior more in line
 with ghc -c, which is able to tie the knot as we are typechecking.
