Thanks Páli! This should now be fixed on the ghc-8.0 branch. The
question how is what should be done about for the 8.0.1 release. It
seems that there are two decisions to be made here,

 1. Do we cut a new source tarball and bump the tag?
 2. If so, do we throw out the existing binary distributions?

The pragmatist in me wants to answer 1) yes, 2) no, although I do
dislike the idea of distributing binaries that weren't derived from the
associated source tarball.

Cheers,

- Ben
