Comment (by supersven):

 Regarding
 {{{
   -- When the earliest compiler we want to boostrap with is
   -- GHC 7.2, we can make RealSrcLoc properly abstract
 }}}

 Building/Preparation/Tools states:

 > In general, we support building with the previous 2 major releases,
 e.g.:
 >
 >    [...]
 >
 >    To build 8.0.* you need GHC >= 7.8 [[BR]]
 >    To build 8.2.* you need GHC >= 7.10

 So, according to the comment, it should be save to remove the option.

 I'm now running `validate` to ensure that the option really can be
 removed...
