I would vote against this: It would make the very common use case (nothing has
changed) worse, and I guess that for the majority of users the GCC version
will *never* change incompatibly during the lifetime of the GHC installation.
Therefore, checking at GHC startup is the wrong place. A script which is
called at boot time or even better at GCC post-installation time is a better
place.
Cheers,
S.
