Import ghc-8.4.4
GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
comprehensive set of libraries.
This package provides the 8.4.x release series, which is the last
version that can bootstrap with 8.0.2. It will probably be removed
once we make a separate package for GHC 8.8.x and get enough bootstrap
kits for it.
