I don't have spare cycles left to do the building + testing for myself, so I'd like to turn this around: Is there any test coverage regarding the upcoming GHC 7.8 and the libraries in the Haskell Platform? I'm thinking especially about the examples in https://github.com/haskell-opengl/GLUT/tree/master/examples (especially RedBook8/Chapter01). Building alone is not enough, one has to test this manually. :-/ Avoiding any unpleasant surprises would be nice. Some nightly builds of the upcoming 7.8 *plus* the HP for several platforms would really help here. Do we have such a thing? Regarding -fno-ghci-sandbox: I never needed to use that flag, even with the GLUT examples in GHCi. When exactly should this be necessary?
