Subject: Ignore requests to use backends that aren't available; fixes #5145
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4915e566cb661aa934e133c7c9b21c0d1964490a

Ignore requests to use backends that aren't available; fixes #5145

Now if you try to use "-fasm" with an unreg compiler, for example,
you just get a warning saying it's being ignored.
