That's what I do. My normal install procedure is:
ghc --make setup
setup configure
setup build
setup install
If only takes a couple of seconds for ghc to compile setup, and then
it runs instantly. If I was to use runghc then it would recompile (in
ghci) for each invocation.
I use #! in Setup.hs (non-lit) and it compiles fine, so no worries there either.
