ffi

When building gtk2hs-buildtools with ghc 7.4.2, I get the following warning:

c2hs/toplevel/C2HSConfig.hs:110:1:
    Warning: newtype `CInt' is used in an FFI declaration,
             but its constructor is not in scope.
             This will become an error in GHC 7.6.1.
    When checking declaration:
      foreign import ccall safe "static bitfield_direction" bitfield_direction
        :: CInt

I get similar warnings with FFI calls, even though I have import Foreign.C.Types(CInt).

What is the correct way of getting rid of this warning?
