make show VALUE=VAR depends on ghc-stage1
I'm trying to debug some issues in GHC build system and its pretty annoying when I change some variable value in mk/config.mk and when I try to verify this by
make show VALUE=<var name>it starts a build of ghc-stage1 compiler. Is that really needed? IMHO this looks like a bug as after running configure all variables in makefiles should be constant...
