Please post the complete build log and emerge --info.

What GHC version did you use to build cpphs?
'ghc --info' should contain most relevant bits.

Created attachment 419754 [details]
emerge --info dev-haskell/cpphs

build with dev-lang/ghc-7.6.3-r1

It's a hard-to-fix bug in GHC versions before 7.8:
    bug #524790

Was fixed upstream around ghc-7.8.1.
Do you have any specific reason to use 7.6 branch?

[Comment 6 Zentoo 2015-12-19 13:50:21 UTC]

Initially I use ghc 7.6 for app-emulation/ganeti.
It's possible that I can use ghc 7.8 with latest ganeti version but this package use 113 haskell dependencies actually and half of them need to be unstable and other half stable with specific masked version. So I spend a lot of time to stabilize each ganeti version. Historically there were ganeti issues with ghc-7.8.
Right now I don't if these issues are resolved and if I can stabilize haskell packages using ghc-7.8 for ganeti. But I can try to do it.

[Comment 7 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2015-12-19 15:30:32 UTC]

Yeah, ganeti on recent ghc is a problem.
