+AFTER_STAGE1_MESSAGE:=Run \`make clean-profiles\` to start with a clean slate. $\
+    Then run Julia to collect realistic profile data, for example: \`julia -O3 -e $\
+    'using Pkg; Pkg.add("LoopVectorization"); Pkg.test("LoopVectorization")'\`. This $\
+	should produce about 15MB of data in $(PROFILE_DIR). Note that running extensive $\
+	scripts may result in counter overflows, which can be detected by running $\
+	\`make top\`. Afterwards run \`make stage2\`.
