 I want to build ghc-7.8 soon in Rawhide.
 In the past (before ARM primary) we have done major ghc version updates in
 rawhide directly but I am cautious about doing this now because of ARM.
 Building will also take longer now because of armv7.

 So I would like to request a f22-ghc buildtag for building ghc-7.8.
 I estimate a 7-10 days may be needed to complete this work
 though I will try to get it done quicker if possible.

 cf https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8
 (Note this change was previously approved for F21 but for various reasons
 we didn't manage to land it during the F21 devel cycle.)
