It would be nice if Smten worked with GHC 7.8..
Probably better to switch support to GHC 7.8. and away from 7.6.* for the long run.

See branch ghc7.8.
I believe I've fixed all the issues on the Smten end.
It just doesn't work on the big applications, because ghc 7.8 produces code which seg faults.
The next step is to either figure out the seg faults, or wait for a new release of ghc 7.8 which fixes the problem.

The seg fault is a known bug in 7.8.2 having to do with stable names (ghc bug #9078).
Hopefully they'll release a fix soon.

In the meantime, there's also some trouble with supporting newtype deriving in the back end.
We need to provide the primitive support for roles.
