Comment (by rwbarton):

 Oops, I misread a comment in IRC :/

 It's sufficient to just try to build the module
 `Lambdabot.Plugin.Haskell.Pl.Parser` along with its dependency
 `Lambdabot.Plugin.Haskell.Pl.Common` (with `-O -prof`). Only package
 dependencies are mtl, text and parsec.

 GHC 7.10.1 works okay.
