Hi,

@Bodigrim is working on a patch (https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4212) 
to fix #14170.

The build fails because of interface file errors: "bad interface file" 
for GHC.Natural and "failed to load interface" for GHC.Types.

I suspect it is a wired-in module build ordering issue but I haven't 
been able to help fixing it. If anyone with more insights could help it 
would be much appreciated!

Can you paste the full error? What module is failing to compile? Which
definition is it loading the interface for?

Cheers,

- Ben

It fails in the CoreTidy pass.


I also got this one (only after a make clean IIRC):
libraries/base/GHC/Exception/Type.hs-boot:1:1: error:
    Failed to load interface for ‘GHC.Types’
    There are files missing in the ‘ghc-prim-0.5.2.0’ package,
    try running 'ghc-pkg check'.
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.


@hvr suggests it could could related to hs-boot files dependencies.

Cheers,
