I managed to build git-annex with GHC 8.2.1 on Linux by removing a bunch of Win32/OSX modules from the cabal file and another small fix. However, there are two test failures when running git-annex test. Do you think it's related to the GHC version?

    2 out of 293 tests failed (486.80s)
      (This could be due to a bug in git-annex, or an incompatibility
       with utilities, such as git, installed on this system.)


All other tests are working, though.
