1. It would probably be useful to give us the exact version of ghc that you are using and also the version you are building. (Sorry if you reported it and I missed it, but I cannot find it right now.)
Ditto.
3. In #1195, igloo reports that he has included some code to provide additional information in case of ignored errors (which seems involved here). Some additional context that surrounds the first error report would therefore also be useful, I guess.
Yes, if you are building a GHC which includes this patch then a full build log would be useful.

It's possible that this could be caused by a broken splitter, yes. Adding -v -keep-tmp-files to the above commandline should help clarify things, with the help of the command ouput and the intermediate file contents. Thanks Ian
