Description

I tried to build haskell-mode-16.1 with [GNU Guix](https://gnu.org/software/guix) but the build fails with

> haskell-process.el:160:1:Error: Unused lexical variable ‘move-point-in-windows’

Also see the [full build log](https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2766429/nixlog/1). I assume that this is some change in Emacs 26.

Research direction

Start with haskell-process.el around line 160 and reproduce the GNU Guix build using Emacs 26.1. Read the full build log to confirm the unused lexical variable error and identify the smallest compatible change; done means haskell-mode-16.1 builds successfully under that environment.
