Comment (by alexmptrac@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 cal@…]:
 > That's a weird error message - it seems like there is a problem internal
 to GHC's build process, because it fails to find a file that GHC itself
 should have produced (from what I understand).

 out any race conditions?

 The build ran for a long time then died with a different bizarre error. At
 this point I started to suspect I might be running out of memory, so I
 quit everything except Terminal and tried again. After about an hour and a
 half it succeeded!

 Thanks a lot for your help.
