[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.0.1 source tarball available

[Carter Schonwald]

Which version of cabal the binary vs Cabal the lib  etc did you use?

Is this package level parallel builds or module level?
I definitely hit a hard to reproduce problem where sublime Haskell would
sometimes hang on stderr output from a vanilla cabal build invocation.

What command let's you reproduce it intermittently? Also how many cores /
ram does the machine have?
