 I am trying to build ghc 7.8.4 on a RaspberryPi 2 B
 This fails in the last step.

 I installed ghc 7.6.3 from the Raspbian archive
 pi@raspberrypi32:~/devel/ghc-7.8.4$ ghc --version
 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3

 And I downloaded the sources for 7.8.4 from here.
 https://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.4/ghc-7.8.4-src.tar.bz2

 The I unarchived the tar file and did

 ./boot
 ./configure
 make

 Then, tha machine happily chruned alog for more than 12 hours
 and then I got
