    --make is now the default (#3515), and -fno-code works with --make (#3783) · 7828bf3e

    If the command line contains any Haskell source files, then we behave
    as if --make had been given.
    
    The meaning of the -c flag has changed (back): -c now selects one-shot
    compilation, but stops before linking.  However, to retain backwards
    compatibility, -c is still allowed with --make, and means the same as
    --make -no-link.  The -no-link flag has been un-deprecated.
    
    -fno-code is now allowed with --make (#3783); the fact that it was
    disabled before was largely accidental, it seems.  We also had some
    regressions in this area: it seems that -fno-code was causing a .hc
    file to be emitted in certain cases.  I've tidied up the code, there
    was no need for -fno-code to be a "mode" flag, as far as I can tell.
    
    -fno-code does not emit interface files, nor does it do recompilation
    checking, as suggested in #3783.  This would make Haddock emit
    interface files, for example, and I'm fairly sure we don't want to do
    that.  Compiling with -fno-code is pretty quick anyway, perhaps we can
    get away without recompilation checking.
