It's all very well having a single giant `Makefile` that knows how to

build everything in the right order, but sometimes you want to build

|
|
would do `cd ghc` and then `make`. In the non-recursive system we can

|
|
still achieve this by specifying the target with something like \`make

Our second idiom therefore supports the `cd ghc; make` idiom, just as
