The non-core libs have not been converted yet. I suggest you build
without those optional libs for the moment. Then it'll almost certainly
build, as that's what everyone checks when they validate.
As I've mentioned, I see those extralibs as a good test of
whether changes to ghc+corelibs are going to cause havoc
in the wild, which is the main reason why I keep trying to
raise awareness of continuing full head build breakage
(against the trend to focus on corelibs, abandoning extralibs
before HP is ready).
In this case, I was told that base3-compat was provided
explicitly to avoid breakage[1], and as I reported, that
doesn't seem to be the case [2].
