[Haskell-cafe] ANN: stack-1.7.1

[Emanuel Borsboom]

This should be fixed now.  The GHC 8.4.x bindists weren't under the right OS key in the GHC setup metadata.  That said, this shouldn't behave any differently on stack-1.7.x than it did with stack-1.6.x.

I'm curious if this will work for you though.  I just tried it on a FreeBSD 11 VM and GHC 8.4.2 failed stack's post-install sanity check with a bunch of errors like this:

/usr/local/bin/ld.gold: error: /home/vagrant/.stack/programs/x86_64-freebsd/ghc-8.4.2/lib/ghc-8.4.2/rts/libHSrts.a(RTS.o): unexpected reloc 8 in object file
/home/vagrant/.stack/programs/x86_64-freebsd/ghc-8.4.2/lib/ghc-8.4.2/rts/libHSrts.a(RTS.o):/usr/src/cddl/lib/drti/../../../cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libdtrace/common/drti.c:__SUNW_dof: error: unexpected reloc 8 in object file
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 

GHC 8.2.2 seems to work alright, so not sure what changed in the bindists.
