Huh,
So this is a bug I thought I dealt with :/
In the short term, I've found that often simply trying the build again can fix it. This is a dependency issue that I don't 100% understand.
For some more technical background, the "InfoTableProf" module is only built/needed when it is used with PROFILING. It uses CPP to "peek" into the StgInfoTable, which changes under profiling.
My impression is that dependency resolution decides that module isn't necessary, so then it is missing when it goes to use it. Again, I am not sure here, that's just what seemed to be the issue.
Best,

For some more technical background, the "InfoTableProf" module is only built/needed when it is used with PROFILING. It uses CPP to "peek" into the StgInfoTable, which changes under profiling.
I think my issue was that nixpkgs.ghcHEAD configurePhase was overwriting my build.mk. That might explain why profiling was enabled.

Huh,

I also encountered this (although it's rather unlikely to occur with high build parallelism, which is how it snuck through validation). Anyways, I filed #15197 and pushed D4753 as a possible workaround. I believe the root cause is a bug in `ghc -M`'s treatment of ways. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4753
