Thanks. Now the build process gets stuck here:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make all -wr -f Makefile;
  in /home/ashley/Projects/Collected/Haskell/ghc/libraries/base
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rm -f GHC/Base.o; if [ ! -d GHC/Base_split ]; then mkdir GHC/Base_split; 
else /usr/bin/find GHC/Base_split -name '*.o' -print | xargs rm -f 
__rm_food; fi;
../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fglasgow-exts -cpp -Iinclude 
-"#include" HsBase.h -funbox-strict-fields -ignore-package base -O 
-Rghc-timing -fgenerics  -fgenerics -split-objs    -c GHC/Base.lhs -o 
GHC/Base.o  -ohi GHC/Base.hi


The compiler just sits and does nothing for hours. It doesn't even use 
any CPU, it seems to be just waiting for something (in state "S+" 
according to ps). I tried running the command with -H64m, but that 
didn't help. With -v it gives this:

It stops and waits there. This is my machine:
