New description:

 stack setup gives me this error:

 {{{
 # The .dll case calls STRIP_CMD explicitly, instead of `install -s`,
 because
 # on Win64, "install -s" calls a strip that doesn't understand 64bit
 binaries.
 # For some reason, this means the DLLs end up non-executable, which means
 # executables that use them just segfault.


 Error: Error encountered while installing GHC with
          make install
          run in
 /home/stefanov/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.4.3.temp/ghc-8.4.3/
 }}}

 Possibly a domain-specific problem,caused by NixOS's file management.
