 I've just installed ghc 7.4.1 and it seems to get the value of the
 __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ variable wrong:

 Load the program below in ghci and run main. I get "704" as output.

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -cpp #-}
 module Main where

 #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ == 704
 main = putStrLn "704"
 #else
 main = putStrLn "something else"
 #endif
 }}}
