+# This is an ugly hack: we need stage1/$(PLATFORM_H) built before we
+# preprocess primops.txt.pp, but we don't want to just add that
+# dependency because we don't want $(PLATFORM_H) built during normal
+# operations, because we don't have have dependencies from the .hs
+# sources on it, and we don't want those dependencies because that
+# would cause everything to be rebuilt every time the Makefile
+# changed.  So here we add the required dependency only when making
+# boot or depend:
