This is one of the last blockers for the 2013.2.0.0 platform. I'm going to make sure it builds on a stable system and then CC the arches.
Arches, please go ahead. This package has a test suite which should suffice. You'll want to build dev-haskell/text without test support first to avoid circular dependencies. I've already build and tested on an empty amd64 system if that's good enough to keyword amd64.
Removing ppc and ppc64, sorry. They're missing a stable version of one of the deps, dev-haskell/stm.
amd64 stable
x86 stable
alpha stable
sparc stable
ia64 stable. Closing.
