OI in 7.10.1

Please, what is wrong here?

---------------------------------------------------------------
module OI where
class Foo a where foo :: a -> Bool

instance Foo Bool where foo _ = True

data C a = C a

instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} Foo a => Foo (C a) where foo (C a) = foo a
instance {-# OVERLAPPING #-} Foo (C Bool)       where foo _ = False
---------------------------------------------------------------

By this I intended to test the overlapping instance control. 
I set the pragma as it is shown in the User guide.
And
    ghc-7.10.1  -c -XFlexibleInstances OI.hs

reports  "Unrecognised pragma".

Please, advise,

------
Sergei
