### Expected

Try to build with the alpha version of GHC 8.8

### Actual

Fails to parse with an error message that does not provide the user with the requisite information to correct the issue at hand.

### Stack version

```
Version 2.1.1, Git revision f612ea85316bbc327a64e4ad8d9f0b150dc12d4b (7648 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.31
```

### Method of installation

Don't remember. It was like 3 years and a half dozen upgrades ago.
