The build log says:

=====> fed001(normal) 634 of 2894 [0, 0, 0]
cd ./ffi/should_run && '/builddir/build/BUILD/ghc-7.2.0.20110728/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2' -fforce-recomp -dcore-lint -dcmm-lint -dno-debug-output -no-user-package-conf -rtsopts  -o fed001 fed001.hs    >fed001.comp.stderr 2>&1

/bin/sh: line 1: 32288 Segmentation fault      ./fed001 < /dev/null > fed001.run.stdout 2> fed001.run.stderr
Wrong exit code (expected 0 , actual 139 )
Stdout:
Stderr:
*** unexpected failure for fed001(normal)

but it works fine for me on x86/Linux.
