You might like to try out installing leksah with stock emerge:

    https://github.com/gentoo-haskell/gentoo-haskell/blob/master/README.rst

gtk2hs-buildtools seems to be buggy when ran the first time on certain headers:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01160.html

gentoo-haskell overlay workarounds it by disabling binary cache:
