Seems we're good?:

[nix-shell:~]$ ghc --show-iface
/nix/store/rnxk1a1bz4rgy1rw4973blbfp9f0ic89-ghc-7.8.4/lib/ghc-7.8.4/base-4.7.0.2/System/Info.hi
 | grep Dep
addDependentFile "libraries/base/dist-install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h"
addDependentFile
"/nix/store/6k9z1sfl7kghmagwd205k3i81pbcw57s-glibc-2.21/include/stdc-predef.h"

With our new architecture using 7.10.1:

[nix-shell:~]$ ghc --show-iface
/nix/store/j50pk13r5jysqk20gsyjdi89qcpfii57-ghc-7.10.1/lib/ghc-7.10.1/base_I5BErHzyOm07EBNpKBEeUv/System/Info.hi
| grep Dep
addDependentFile "libraries/base/dist-install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h"
addDependentFile
"/nix/store/c2zjp7bqmp5wvpkrpl7p7sfhxbdyfryy-glibc-2.21/include/stdc-predef.h"

In light of above, I don't know if I should be happy because we don't
seem to be affected or scared that it's just subtle and will bite us
regardless.
