Comment (by schmunk@…):

 I played around with the sources, based on the error here:

 {{{
 :info:build "inplace/bin/mkdirhier" bootstrapping/.
 :info:build mkdir: bootstrapping/.: No such file or directory
 :info:build make[1]: *** [bootstrapping/.] Error 1
 }}}

 I created the bootstrapping directory manually

 {{{
 mkdir
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work/ghc-7.6.3/bootstrapping
 }}}

 I starts the compilation process now, but fails with parsing errors.

 I changed some of the error by moving the closing bracket onto the
 previous line, like
 {{{
 "flush/flush"
     append flush flush = flush #-}
 }}}

 But without luck at the end.
