stack build package:exe:exe1 always build all executable targets in cabal file

[cranej]

I expect it to build only the component I specified, but stack always build all. My cabal file:

executable experiment 
  main-is: experiment.hs  
  -- ...            
executable person 
  main-is: person.hs
 -- ...

Build command: stack build handy-tools:exe:person

Output:

handy-tools-1.0.0.0: configure

This project was not created by stack new, it's created by cabal.
