 Building git head after commit 4fffbc34c0 with ghc-7.8 or ghc-7.6 I get:

 {{{
 compiler/typecheck/TcInteract.hs:2034:13:
     Not in scope: ‘<$>’
     Perhaps you meant one of these:
       ‘TcM.<$>’ (imported from TcRnMonad),
       ‘<+>’ (imported from Outputable),
       ‘TcM.<*>’ (imported from TcRnMonad)

 compiler/typecheck/TcInteract.hs:2034:29:
     Not in scope: ‘<$>’
     Perhaps you meant one of these:
       ‘TcM.<$>’ (imported from TcRnMonad),
       ‘<+>’ (imported from Outputable),
       ‘TcM.<*>’ (imported from TcRnMonad)
 }}}

 The `<$>` operator is only available by default in ghc 7.10 and later.
