So basically there's ghc and gambas3 left.
ghc is using 3.7 in experimental, so it will be fixed with the next haskell
transition.
gambas3 seems a bit more problematic:

Unfortunately I can't access the upstream bug report.
BTW we currently have 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 in testing, and I guess 3.8 will follow
soon. So we'll need more clean-ups.
Cheers,
Emilio
