cding  into ./testsuite/tests and running
 make WAYS=llvm test

i get the following results (also added to the ticket i opened)

Unexpected results from:

Hey All,
i've opened a ticket for this build problem http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7874

ghc seems to build successful when i do quick, but not quick-llvm. Which seems worrisome maybe? 

was with current ghc head, commit hash 2fa44a8ab9d6c68c14ccb25ac26a556d1d82d70d

any thoughts would be appreciated on what could be the culprit and how i can track it down / help fix it.

thanks
-Carter
