Yes, the same problem with stack 1.6, I just updated stack and tried the snapshot at the same time.

I'll let you know.  For some reason running "strip" on the various ".a" files extracted from the archive is taking a very long time...  For example, still running as I write:

$ ps -wwww -o pid,etime,args -p $(pgrep strip)
  PID ELAPSED COMMAND
72558   05:49 strip --strip-unneeded /usr/home/viktor/.stack/programs/x86_64-freebsd/ghc-8.4.2/lib/ghc-8.4.2/Cabal-2.2.0.1/libHSCabal-2.2.0.1_p.a
