There are license issues if you want to distribute the resulting stuff.
Have to ask your lawyers about lgpl + gmp + shipping binary only stuff.
On the technical side, there are no other downsides.

At the end of your strace, I see this:

So you can see that it tries to read libgmp from a lot of places, but
not from the one you specified in build.mk, so this seems to be a build
system bug.

The last commit in GHC that I tried and succeeded to compile 2 weeks ago
with a very similar setup as yours was this:
12332f1add3eb9615a62abb36898819b2e67e865

Can you please try that so we can rule on whether there was a change
very recently that broke this.

I see.  I'm flying out in 10 hours for vacation, so won't have time to
reproduce your issue and look into this more deeply.  If you figure out
what's happening, please send me a summary.

Maybe you should move this thread to the gmane.linux.distributions.nixos
mailing list from here, because I guess Peter Simons and co can help you
more with this, than GHC devs.

If I find the bandwidth during travels, I will try to keep an eye on this.
