Comment (by rwbarton):

 You seem to be trying to build a dynamic `polyparse` library but you only
 have a static `text` library, probably because the default of what kind of
 libraries to build changed between cabal 1.16 and cabal 1.20. Try
 reinstalling the text library (or just blowing away your whole 7.8.2
 packages tree).
