OK, my GHC build is now complete. I can confirm that the original bug has in fact been fixed. I can also confirm that Yesod issue 713 about yesod-auth is *also* resolved, even though it was not part of the original GHC ticket. Furthermore, the entire yesod-platform compiles (after fixing a language-javascript version number).

Well that’s a relief. I’m very sorry about the post-RC2 bug. It was my fault; I was fixing a bug that people wanted fixed (#8913) and managed to introduce a new one, and one that no regression test caught.

I really appreciate the quick turnaround on this Simon, you saved me many hours of pain and suffering with this fix!

Maybe we should consider including a Stackage run in the pre-release procedure, as it's likely to catch these kinds of corner cases. I'd be happy to volunteer to do that, I simply hadn't realized that there were changes to 7.8.1 not present in rc2.
