Comment (by erikd):

 Hmm, wit this fix, building base fails due to:

 {{{
 absurd :: Void -> a
 absurd a = case a of {}
 }}}

 which triggers:

 {{{
 libraries/base/Data/Void.hs:66:12: warning: [-Wincomplete-patterns]
     Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
     In a case alternative: Patterns not matched: _
 }}}
