Thanks for this hint. I got further (also after replacing some non-ascii
characters in comments, i.e. a broken bar "-- ¦ ..."). The next spot is:

Posixutil/CopyFile.hs:124:19: Not in scope: `slurpFile'

copyFileToCStringLen :: FilePath -> IO CStringLen
copyFileToCStringLen file =
   do
      (ptr,len) <- slurpFile file
      return (castPtr ptr,len)
