Build failure under Fedora 21

[Dominick Samperi]

Hello,

I'm trying to build ghc-7.8 branch under Fedora 21 and I get the
failure diagnostics appended below. The problem seems to be that the
build process cannot satisfy deepseq >=1.2 && <1.4, but I explicitly
installed deepseq-1.3.0.2, and this did not help (same error?).

Under Fedora 21 Haskell Platform contains ghc-7.6.3, so this is
the boot compiler. The ghc binary for centos65 installs provided I define
/usr/lib64/libgmp.so.3 as a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/libgmp.so.10,
a risky move.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dominick
