 The following appears to break,

 {{{
 $ cat <<EOF >mk/build.mk
 BuildFlavour = prof
 ifneq "$(BuildFlavour)" ""
 include mk/flavours/$(BuildFlavour).mk
 endif
 EOF
 $ make stage=2
 $ make stage=3
 $ touch compiler/stage2/build/Simplify.*
 $ make stage=2
 ...
 ghc/GHCi/UI/Info.hs:43:1: error:
     Could not find module ‘TcHsSyn’
     Perhaps you haven't installed the profiling libraries for package
 ‘ghc-8.3’?
     Locations searched:
       ghc/./TcHsSyn.p_hi
       ghc/./TcHsSyn.p_hi-boot
       ghc/stage2/build/TcHsSyn.p_hi
       ghc/stage2/build/TcHsSyn.p_hi-boot

    |
 43 | import           TcHsSyn
    | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 }}}

 The problem appears to be that the build system registers the stage3
 `ghc`, which we didn't build in the profiled way, overwriting the stage2
 registration. Hopefully Hadrian will do better here.
