Make: Name GHC according to the stage it is *built* in, not used in.wip/make-unify-distdirs
The basic reason is that is the modular thing to do: where there is one canonical predecessor stage, there are be many possible successor stages. It would be arbitrary to just name the newly built GHC after one of them. That means we have: - distdirs decremented: `stage0`, `stage1`, and `stage2` - prog names decremented: `ghc-stage0`, `ghc-stage1`, `ghc-stage2` - `Stage1Only` -> `Stage0Only` - in the test suite, `STAGE<N+>` to `STAGE<N>` However, `GHC_STAGE0` already meant the GHC used for stage1 -- there was no missing 0 so we could decrement losslessly. We instead named `GHC_STAGE<N>` `HC_STAGE<N>` to match `CC_STAGE<N>` and friends (which are similarly abstractly named) because they are all morally parameters, not results, and added a comment explaining. This is very hard to review, but one thing that might help is the fish one-liner: ```fish git diff (for x in HEAD^ HEAD; git grep 'stage[0123]' $x | sed -E 's/^HEAD\^?://' | psub; end) ```
