I already mentioned this in a private mail to Ben.

Thanks for the report, George! That is quite odd indeed. It sounds like
/usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 may have been a symlink to a directory
which does not exist (possibly?).

I don't think so. If you look at ghc-8.0.1.20161117-x86_64-centos67-linux.tar.xz for example you will it does not contain ghc.1 either: I think it is not being generated.

Looks like a buildsystem regression to me wrt to 8.0.1: I guess we should file a bug...

Here https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/petersen/ghc-8.0.2/fedora-rawhide-i386/00479814-ghc/build.log.gz is a complete buildlog and https://github.com/fedora-haskell/ghc/commit/97b08fb4732a548db8e2bf7c8011b4419ac70d29 is my packaging workaround.
