 Commit c8d995db5d743358b0583fe97f8113bf9047641e in ghc bumped the `time`
 submodule to the latest version 4eb06c0e (`time-1.8`). But it caused a
 Core Lint error while compiling `Distribution.Compat.Time`, in the Cabal
 library:

 {{{
 *** Core Lint errors : in result of Float out(FOS {Lam = Just 0,
                                                    Consts = True,
                                                    OverSatApps = True})
 ***
 <no location info>: warning:
     In the expression: $wsystemToUTCTime
                          (case lvl_sdDL of v_B1 { I# v_B2 -> v_B2 })
                          (case lvl_sdDM of v_B1 { W# v_B2 -> v_B2 })
     This argument does not satisfy the let/app invariant:
       case lvl_sdDL of v_B1 { I# v_B2 -> v_B2 }
 }}}

 See https://phabricator.haskell.org/harbormaster/build/21371/ for the full
 build log.

 For now the submodule bumps have been reverted.
