It builds fine on Fedora 21 devel for x86_64 and i686, but unfortunately it

I tested and this also happens on Fedora 20 ARM [1] so I now doubt it could
be due to any recent changes in Fedora devel (Rawhide).
I filed <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8976>.
Anyway I suppose it may be too late to fix for the 7.8.1 release but
hopefully soon for 7.8.2.

ghc-7.6.3 in EPEL7
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
Hi,
Just a heads up that ghc-7.6.3 (Haskell compiler) from F20 was built
for EPEL 7 Beta last week. Lot of building of Haskell packages still
to be done there.
Current EPEL versions are:
EPEL5: ghc-7.0.4 (recently updated)
EPEL6: ghc-7.0.4 (updated in 2012; update to 7.4.2 planned)
EPEL7: ghc-7.6.3
We will probably stay with 7.6.3 in EPEL7 at least until
after ghc-7.8 is completely stable (ie when rawhide moves to 7.10+)
and works on ppc64.
Jens
ps I would also like to add Software Collections for different
ghc versions for EL to better allow users to choose the version
of ghc best for them.

GHC 7.8 Change Proposal
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
Hi Fedora Haskell SIG,
A heads-up I updated the GHC 7.8 Change proposal
for Fedora 21 with a bit detail to make it into
a proposed System Wide Change:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.8
Let's hope 7.8.1 will appear soon and maybe
7.8.2 with more fixes follows on quite quickly
so we get a good stable ghc into F21.
Jens
ps Currently seems 7.8.1 will be broken on ppc64 and s390x. :-(
pps The good news is every arch gets shared libs finally!
