It looks like the program System/CPUTime_hsc_make is failing for some
reason (this program is auto-generated from System/CPUTime.hsc by
hsc2hs).

Try the hsc2hs command again with the --no-compile option - this will
leave System/CPUTime_hsc_make around, so you can debug it.  Could you
run it under gdb and find out where the failure is?
