 * milestone:  7.12.1 => 7.10.2


Comment:

 This commit is also needed to make the two in #10449 function properly.

 That changes the test failures in `perf/haddock` from:
 {{{
       3 had missing libraries
 }}}

 To the correct (on my local devel2 build):
 {{{
        3 unexpected stat failures
 ...
    .  haddock.Cabal [stat not good enough] (normal)
    .  haddock.base [stat not good enough] (normal)
    .  haddock.compiler [stat not good enough] (normal)
 }}}
