build fail with latest 8.1 sources

[John Leo]

I just pulled again and picked up a more recent patch by Ben Gamari:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/ca1b986074757efff755c33c7f9a62c7eae43c7f

This seems to have fixed the problem.  The commit says 8 hours ago but for
some reason I didn't pick it up 2 or 3 hours ago when I last pulled.
