LLVM version check for GHC 8.8.1-alpha2

While giving 8.8.1-alpha2 a try and using the LLVM backend I receive a lot of warnings of the form

You are using an unsupported version of LLVM!                                                                                                                      
Currently only 7 is supported.                                                                                                                               
We will try though...

However, I'm using version 7:

$ llc --version
LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
  LLVM version 7.0.1
...

$ opt --version
LLVM (http://llvm.org/):
  LLVM version 7.0.1
...

I guess the problematic part is the following of file compiler/llvmGen/LlvmCodeGen.hs

        debugTraceMsg dflags 2

        when (ver /= supportedLlvmVersion && doWarn) $                                                                                                                                                                             
            putMsg dflags (text "You are using an unsupported version of LLVM!"                                                                                                                                                    
                             $+$ text ("Currently only " ++                                                                                                                                                                        
                                       llvmVersionStr supportedLlvmVersion ++                                                                                                                                                      
                                       " is supported.")                                                                                                                                                                           
                             $+$ text "We will try though...")

In my case ver equals LlvmVersion 7 and supportedLlvmVersion equals LlvmVersionOld 7 0. Thus ver /= supportedLlvmVersion evaluates to False which is Ok but it shouldn't ;-)
