I've attached the build log

And what should I see in this blurb? I have no problem to compile it, so you'll have to provide more information, the environment, the command line used to generate the build log, etc, etc...

I replied on the gist, but I should have replied here:

To my eyes there are only two interesting lines in the whole log:

Using compiler: ghc-7.8.3
Result size of SpecConstr/usr/bin/ghc returned ExitFailure (-9)

With ghc the exit failure number typically corresponds to a unix signal number. In this case, it should correspond to SIGKILL. Normally GHC complains about the impossible when it fails an assertion. To me, this looks like someone or something used kill -9 on this compilation job.

the -9 could be a symptom of a out-of-memory kill, but without more information, it's hard to tell :-/

In my experience out of memory (with ghc) always shows up as 11 (segfault).

It must be out-of-memory kill cause I noticed ghc taking up 3.8 GB of system ram and 3 GB of Swap and die then.
