Description

First, could you please upgrade GHC from the old 7.8.3 to the current 8.4.3, or better yet - 8.6.3? Considering that 8.8.3 is about to be released?

And as you're at it, could you please update its dependencies from llvm-3.5 to, e.g., llvm-7.0?

Thanks!

This ticket is closed, but FYI, each version of Haskell is more or less bound to a specific version of llvm, so it's not possible to arbitrarily try to upgrade it to a new llvm.
