To tell what's going on I'll need the build.log output of

	> sudo port -dv build ghc-devel > build.log 2>&1

This will be quite long, and you might want to compress it.  You can  
send
it to me directly (I maintain the macports ghc-devel port) if you'd  
like.

Please remember to run

	> sudo port clean ghc-devel

first to clean out any previous stuff.  Macports can not yet properly
restart an interrupted build.

Best Wishes,
Greg
