Will BuildFromSource.hs be compatible with ghc 8.0?

Question

Will BuildFromSource.hs be compatible with ghc 8.0?

Tried to run the script with ghc 8.0 and received the message:

You need GHC 7.10 to build this version of Elm.
You are using GHC 8.0 instead.

Can I modify the script to run with 8.0 or there is compat issues with it?

Thanks for your attention.

Edit:

Using
Linux Distro: Manjaro Gellivara 17.0.2
Kernel Linux reinaldo-note-manjaro 4.9.39-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 21 08:25:24 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Haskell Platform Version: 8.0 from AUR repository

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

There are dependencies that currently prevent building with GHC 8. So the warning is there to prevent you from trying something that would fail anyway.

Yeah, the compiler is built with 7.10 still. If newer versions of Elm are built with newer versions of GHC, that will be reflected in the build script.
