Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 The GHC maintainers generally aren't in the business of keeping old GHC
 releases afloat forever. That being said, many OS distributions do ship
 versions of GHC with critical patches included to make them work. For
 instance, I believe hvr's [https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc
 Ubuntu PPA for GHC] includes a patch (see #12759) needed to make GHC work
 with recent versions of GCC.

 Considering that this patch isn't much work to apply, we might be able to
 convince Phyx- to apply it to his [https://github.com/Mistuke/GhcChoco
 Chocolatey GHC packages] if we ask him nicely :)
