Failure to Build

31 Jul 2018

      Hey Devs,

I'm having trouble building the head of the ghc-8.6 branch (`26a7f850d1`)
on my Arch Linux machine. The essence of the error is this as follows,
though the full result of make (to the point of error) is attached.

```
Configuring template-haskell-2.14.0.0...
ghc-cabal: Encountered missing dependencies:
ghc-boot-th ==8.6.* && ==8.7
```

The output of configure is as follows:
```
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be most appreciated.
