Build failure under Fedora 21

[Dominick Samperi]

Here is a little more context...if I use the centos65 binary and try
to install pandoc, it fails on
the install of the vector package, because the shared library
libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0.so is not found (the package primitive-0.5.4.0 contains
libHSprimitive-0.5.4.0.a, no .so file?).

Here is the diagnostic:
