Comment (by nomeata):

 Although the error message is misleading and overly aggresive, this is not
 really a bug. The problem is that GHC on your platform does not support
 interpreting code, which is required for Annotations and Template Toolkit.

 Debian managed to build git-annex on these architectures, but it also
 seems that there distributive is not a build-dependency of git-annex
 (https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=git-
 annex&arch=armel&ver=4.20130911&stamp=1378958349). Is that a new
 dependency?
