Comment:

 A NixOS user has indicated that `master` works fine and the issue has been
 patch. Apparently the problem was due to an interaction with NixOS's GCC
 wrapper,
 {{{
 <bgamari> well, there's a bug filed against 7.10.3
 <bgamari> #11147
 <phaskell> #11147: GHC 7.10.3 does not compile on NixOS -
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11147
 <pikajude> that was fixed
 <pikajude> well, it was patched
 <bgamari> ahh, the root cause was identified?
 <pikajude> bgamari: the response file support in SysTools apparently
 doesn't cooperate with the nix GCC wrapper
