Comment:

 I'm afraid I can't reproduce this as-is. I end up failing with missing
 interface files,
 {{{

 /tmp/stack6279/cryptonite-0.22/Crypto/Number/Serialize/Internal.hs:19:1:
 error:
         Failed to load interface for ‘Data.Memory.PtrMethods’
         There are files missing in the ‘memory-0.14.1’ package,
         try running 'ghc-pkg check'.
         Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
 }}}

 Have you been able to reproduce this after wiping your `.stack` directory?
 I don't see how the compiler could have possibly written out the interface
 file in question and this is the first time I've ever seen this error. It
 would be nice to rule out a simple bit-flip.
