 Running the following command (taken from the settings file)

 {{{
 cat ImportsSemi.hs | gcc -E -undef -traditional -Wunicode -Wno-invalid-pp-
 token -Wno-unicode - > out.hs
 }}}

 on any file results in a file which has an extra newline character
 appended to the end. This result is different from when `gcc` is used as
 the preprocessor, in this case no extra newline is appended.

 I appreciate that this isn't important to most users but it is important
 for ghc-exactprint. With the extra newline character the EOF marker is
 moved one line further down. When we come to output the AST, we also get
 an extra newline at the bottom of the file which breaks roundtripping.
