Comment(by stephen@…):

 "Surmounted before" is a pretty optimistic reading of what actually
 happened in #15142.  "'Seems to be' an upstream problem with some Apple
 compilers and I can't reproduce it" != "fixed" in my book.

 I guess this is a regression in some other package between the releases of
 ghc 6.10.4_3 and ghc 6.10.4_4, and this was exposed by the rebuild.  For
 example, there's a version skew between the version of ghc's "filepath"
 module required by the "directory" and "process" modules and the one
 available to the build, and the log warns that this is likely to cause
 compile failures.  I don't say this is the cause here, but that kind of
 thing seems quite probable to me.  @ryandesign: have you tried building
 6.10.4_3 (or any earlier revision) since the failure of 6.10.4_4?

 I'm just going to revert to my previous version of the Portfile and hack
 PortIndex to make it think I'm up to date any time I install or upgrade
 something that would trigger a ghc upgrade. :-/
