A new version of Haddock, the Haskell documentation tool, is out!
It doesn't install on Windows + MinGW:

cabal install --global haddock

src\Haddock\Utils.hs:435:8: parse error on input `import'
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haddock-2.8.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
This concerns a line with a foreign import:
#ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS
foreign import ccall unsafe "_getpid" getProcessID :: IO Int -- relies on
Int == Int32 on Windows
#else
getProcessID :: IO Int
getProcessID = fmap fromIntegral System.Posix.Internals.c_getpid
#endif
Adding the line:
 {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
to the top of file  src\Haddock\Utils.hs helped.
Thanks for catching this!

I'll wait a little while in case other issues are reported before I
upload 2.8.1.
