Comment (by Isaac Dupree):

 Also grepping the source for __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ finds many things that
 need examining.  Mostly it is "#if"s for compatibility with old versions
 of libraries that old versions of GHC have; for non-GHC compilers I think
 the best thing to do with these is to make sure it assumes the latest
 version of the libraries (old versions of ghc need to be able to compile
 new ones for a special reason, and the older versions also had more
 difficulty having upgradeable packages)
