Comment (by MagnusTherning):

 I thought I'd make an attempt at verifying this just now, but got stuck
 already on getting all the sources.  First I was told that I had an old
 {{{time}}} and should run {{{rm libraries/time}}}, which I did.  Then I
 ran into the next issue:

 {{{
 #!sh
 % ./sync-all -r git://git.haskell.org get -b ghc-7.8
 ....
 == running git submodule update
 fatal: repository '/startdir/packages/Cabal.git' does not exist
 Clone of '/startdir/packages/Cabal.git' into submodule path
 'librariesCabal' failed
 git failed: 256 at ./sync-all line 122.
 }}}

 I don't really have time to look into this myself, but if I get some
 guidance I'll be happy to fire off the build while keeping busy with more
 pressing stuff.
