Can't compile GHC-7.8.3 from git, fails on haskell98 library

[Carter Schonwald]

The checkout clone process for 7.8.3 is very different from head.  What
exact commands where you trying to do for the initial clone?

I would use
Git clone -b ghc-7.8.3 ghcUrl ; ./sync-all get
I think.

Point being the clone process is different.
