Comment:

 DPH is no longer built by default, see:
 "[https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-August/006189.html I'm
 going to disable DPH until someone starts maintaining it]".

 Since then, these [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D302 commits] were made
 to fix the DPH build. Please open a new ticket if anyone runs into
 problems building dph in the future.
